Ixeris is a genus of Asian flowering plants in the dandelion family.

Concepts of which species should be included in the genus have changed in recent years because of the use of molecular investigations. Numerous species formerly regarded as members of Ixeris have been moved to other genera (Agoseris Crepidiastrum Ixeridium Lactuca Paraixeris Paraprenanthes Sonchella Youngia). Species remaining in Ixeris or of uncertain affiliations are listed below.
