Eurya is a genus of about 70 species of flowering plants in the family Pentaphylacaceae.
Eurya macrofossils have been recovered from the late Zanclean stage of Pliocene sites in Pocapaglia, Italy.
The leaves of Eurya are eaten by caterpillars of some Lepidoptera, such as The Engrailed (Ectropis crepuscularia).
