Kunzea is a genus of 36-40 species of shrub in the myrtle family Myrtaceae. They are endemic to Australia with one species extending to New Zealand. They are found throughout the Australian continent with most species occurring in southwestern Western Australia. In appearance they resemble the closely-related Callistemon genus, but differ in the arrangement of the stamens.
Several species of Kunzea are weeds in the fynbos regions of southern South Africa
