"Kosteletzkya" (pronuncied "Kost-el-lets-kee-uh [http://www.backyardgardener.com/gardendictionary/Kosteletzkya.html] ) is a genus of the plant family Malvaceae that includes the seashore mallow ("K. virginica"). It includes about 30 species found worldwide.

The genus was separated from "Hibiscus" in 1835 by Carl Presl, who named it after Vincenz Franz Kosteletzky (1801-1887).
