Jouvea is a Latin American genus of coastal plants in the grass family. It grows on mud flats and coastal sand dunes from northern Mexico to Ecuador.[2][4][5][6]

Jouvea's closest relative in the Chloridoideae subfamily is likely Monanthochloe; both share the characteristic of distichously arranged leaves, and both are dioecious.[2]

Jouvea was named for the French botanist Joseph Duval-Jouve (1810–1883)[7]
