Tetramolopium is a genus of plants in the tribe Astereae within the family Asteraceae.[3][4]

Most of the species are native to New Guinea, 11 species are found in Hawaii, and one in the Cook Islands, with the island populations apparently representing a recent (by evolutionary standards) colonization.[5] It is related to Camptacra, Kippistia, Minuria, Peripleura, and Vittadinia all of which are from Australia , New Guinea, New Zealand, or Pacific islands.[6]
