The tribe Caesalpinieae is one of the subdivisions of the plant family Fabaceae: subfamily Caesalpinioideae.
Genera
Caesalpinieae once included many more genera, but modern molecular phylogenetics indicated that these should be transferred to other clades. Caesalpinieae currently comprises the following genera:
- Arquita <small>E. Gagnon, G. P. Lewis & C. E. Hughes 2015</small>
- Balsamocarpon <small>Clos 1846</small>
- Biancaea <small>(Tod. 1860) E. Gagnon & G. P. Lewis 2016</small>
- Caesalpinia <small>(L. 1753) E. Gagnon & G. P. Lewis 2016</small>
- Cenostigma <small>(Tul. 1843) E. Gagnon & G. P. Lewis 2016</small>
- Cordeauxia <small>Hemsl. 1907</small>
- Coulteria <small>(Kunth 1824) E. Gagnon, Sotuyo & G. P. Lewis 2016</small>
- Denisophytum <small>(R. Vig. 1948) E. Gagnon & G. P. Lewis 2016</small>
- Erythrostemon <small>(Klotzsch 1844) E. Gagnon & G. P. Lewis 2016</small>
- Gelrebia <small>E. Gagnon & G. P. Lewis 2016</small>

- Tara <small>(Molina 1789) E. Gagnon & G. P. Lewis 2016</small>
- Ticanto <small>Adans. 1763</small>
Phylogenetics
Caesalpinia, as traditionally circumscribed, was paraphyletic, so it was recently recircumscribed to produce many new genera:
