Multidentia is a genus of flowering plants in the family Rubiaceae.

Multidentia is restricted to tropical Africa with the greatest concentration of species occurring in eastern Africa.

It was originally described by Alexander von Gilli in 1973 to accommodate a single specimen of a suffruticose pyrophyte with ternate leaves. The type species was Multidentia verticillata - named after its verticillate leaves - but has been made synonym with Multidentia concrescens.
