Ruellia est un genre de plantes à fleurs de la famille des Acanthaceae. Il comprend environ 250 espèces de plantes herbacées principalement originaires des régions tropicales ou subtropicales. Quelques espèces sont originaires des régions tempérées d'Amérique du Nord .
C'est Charles Plumier (1646-1704) qui dédie ce genre à Jean Ruel (v. 1479-1537), botaniste français. Carl von Linné a ensuite conservé cette appellation.
