Keteleeria is a genus of three species of coniferous trees in the family Pinaceae related to the genera Nothotsuga and Pseudolarix. It is distinguished from Nothotsuga by the much larger cones and from Pseudolarix by the evergreen leaves and the cones not disintegrating readily at maturity. All three genera share the unusual feature of male cones produced in umbels of several together from a single bud and also in their ability very rare in the Pinaceae of being able to coppice.
