Crithmum is a monospecific genus of flowering plants in the carrot family, Apiaceae. It currently consists of just one species, Crithmum maritimum, but when it was originally published by Linnaeus (in Species Plantarum vol. 1, p. 246) he included two species. The other, listed as C. pyrenaicum, is now called Libanotis pyrenaica or Seseli libanotis.
