"Lloydia" is a genus of flowering plants comprising about a dozen species, most of which live in Central and Eastern Asia. One species, "Lloydia serotina" is a more widespread arctic-alpine plant. The genus is named after Edward Lhuyd, the Welsh botanist who discovered the plant growing on Snowdon in North Wales.

"Lloydia" plants have long, stiff, grass-like leaves and medium-sized flowers that are typically white, although can be yellow in some species. Several species are cultivated as ornamental plants.

In some older classifications, the genus "Lloydia" was included within the genus "Gagea".
