Cyrtopodium often abbreviated Cyrt in horticulture is a genus of more than 40 species of epiphytic and terrestrial orchids found from Florida and Mexico through Argentina. They appear to form a distinct lineage in the tribe Cymbidieae together with their relatives Galeandra and Grobya; this group forms the Cyrtopodium alliance either placed in the subtribe Catasetinae or separated as subtribe Cyrtopodiinae. The type species is C. andersonii originally described in 1812 by A.B.
