"Acronychia" is a genus of 44 species of plant, mainly shrubs, in the rue family Rutaceae. They have a broad distribution through India, Malesia, Australia and the islands of the western Pacific Ocean.

In Australia, which has 19 species, they are often called aspens though they aren't closely related to the true aspen.

Like all members of the Rutaceae, the leaves are aromatic when crushed.
