Homalanthus is a plant genus of the family Euphorbiaceae and the monogeneric subtribe Carumbiinae. It comprises about 35 species. The genus is native to tropical Asia and Australia.

When published, the generic name was spelt as "Omalanthus". Since the name comes from the ancient Greek word homalos meaning "smooth" and anthos meaning "flower", this original spelling was inconsistent with the general Greek transliteration rules, and many later authors changed it to Homalanthus. According to ICBN, Homalanthus, which can be found in its Appendix III, has now been conserved against the original Omalanthus.
