Pseudocayratia is a genus of Asian vine plants in the family Vitaceae. As its name suggests, it was split from the previously configured genus Cayratia, which was found not to be monophyletic: for example, Pseudocayratia oligocarpa, from central China to Vietnam, was distinct from Cayratia pedata (the type species of that genus). Species have been recorded from central-southern China, Japan, the Ryukyu Islands, Taiwan and Vietnam.

The Cayratieae is one of five tribes of vine plants that are now recognised in this subfamily Vitoideae. It contains genera restored or newly erected from species in the previously configured genus Cayratia, which was found not be monophyletic: (i.e. distinct from Cayratia pedata: the type species of that genus).
