"Galinsoga" is a genus of flowering plants in the family Asteraceae. Members include "Galinsoga parviflora", "Galinsoga urticifolia", and "Galinsoga quadriradiata".

"Galinsoga parviflora" was brought from Peru to Kew Gardens in 1796, and later escaped to the wild in Britain. In Britain its name "Galinsoga" is sometimes popularly rendered as "gallant soldiers", and then sometimes altered to "soldiers of the Queen".

"G. quadriradiata" (synonym "G. ciliata") is sometimes called "shaggy soldiers".
