Ixeris is a genus of Asian flowering plants in the dandelion family.[2]

Concepts of which species should be included in the genus have changed in recent years because of the use of molecular investigations.[3] Numerous species formerly regarded as members of Ixeris have been moved to other genera (Agoseris Crepidiastrum Ixeridium Lactuca Paraixeris Paraprenanthes Sonchella Youngia).[1] Species remaining in Ixeris or of uncertain affiliations are listed below.
