Brownleea is a genus of flowering plants from the orchid family, Orchidaceae, native to Africa and Madagascar. Eight species are known.

In a classification of orchids that was published in 2015, the genera Brownleea and Disperis constituted the subtribe Brownleeinae of the tribe Orchideae. A sister relationship between Brownleea and Disperis received only weak statistical support in a 2009 study. In Genera Orchidacearum, the subtribe Brownleeinae was placed in the tribe Diseae, but this tribe is no longer recognized because it has been shown to be paraphyletic over the tribe Orchideae.
