Misodendron is a genus of hemiparasites which grow as mistletoes on various species of Nothofagus. The twelve species are all restricted to South America.
Misodendron is placed in its own family, Misodendraceae, in the order Santalales. The family has been recognized by many taxonomists, including the APG II system (2003; unchanged from the APG system of 1998), which assigns it to the Santalales in the clade core eudicots.
