Pourthiaea is a genus of deciduous shrubs and small trees in the rose family (Rosaceae), tribe Maleae. Recent genetic studies have shown the genus to be monophyletic; prior to this, the genus was formerly treated either as a section within Photinia, or alternatively as a synonym of Aronia; some of the species have also been treated in Stranvaesia in the past.
Its native range is East Asia and Indo-China. It is found in the regions of Assam, Bangladesh, (north-central, south-central and southeastern) China, East Himalaya, Japan, Korea, Laos, Myanmar, Taiwan, Thailand, Tibet and Vietnam.
Some species in the genus have been introduced into Malaya, and the American states of Connecticut, Delaware, District of Columbia, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Washington.
