"Hornungia" is a small genus of plants in the mustard family. It currently contains three species that have previously been classified as members of other genera, including "Hutchinsia" and "Pritzelago". [Appel, O. and I. A. Al-Shehbaz. (1997). Generic limits and taxonomy of "Hornungia", "Pritzelago", and "Hymenolobus" (Brassicaceae). "Novon" 7:4 338-40.] The genera, and sometimes several others, are usually treated as synonyms.

Species:
*"Hornungia alpina" (syn. "Hutchinsia alpina")
*"Hornungia petraea" (syn. "Hutchinsia petraea")
*"Hornungia procumbens" (syn. "Hutchinsia procumbens")

These are fleshy annuals with white flowers native to Eurasia. One species, "H. procumbens", is also widespread in North America.
