Neofinetia, abbreviated Neof in horticultural trade, is a genus of plant in family Orchidaceae. It contains 3 species (Richardsiana, Xichangnensis and Falcata) found in China, Korea and Japan.

Although Neofinetia Xichangnensis might be a variation in size of Richardsiana or viceversa, taxonomists have not declared a certainty in this classification.
