Quassia is a genus in the family Simaroubaceae. Its size is disputed; some botanists treat it as consisting of only one species, Quassia amara from [tropical] South America, while others treat it in a wide circumscription as a pantropical genus containing up to 40 species of trees and shrubs.

Broader treatments of the genus include the following and other species:

• Quassia africana
• Quassia amara
• Quassia bidwillii
• Quassia indica
• Quassia undulata
