Rzedowskia is a monotypic genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Celastraceae. It contains one known species, Rzedowskia tolantonguensis, native to eastern Mexico.
The genus name of Rzedowskia is in honour of Jerzy Rzedowski (1926–2023), a Mexican botanist. His focus was on Mexican floristics, taxonomy, and ecology. The Latin specific epithet of tolantonguensis refers to Tolantongo, a box canyon and resort in the state of Hidalgo, where the plant was found.
