Bidens is a genus with about 200 species in the family Asteraceae. The species Bidens laevis, also known as "beggar tick," is a common fall flower in the southeastern USA. Bidens frondosa is considered to be a weed in New Zealand, although it is not officially declared as such.

Bidens species are used as food plants by the larvae of some Lepidoptera species including Hypercompe hambletoni.

The name Bidens comes from the Latin for "two-toothed" which refers to the bristles on the achenes.

The common names "beggar's tick" and "stickseed" relates to the burr seeds of this genus, most of which are barbed and will stick to clothing, fur, or feathers.
