Gagnepainia is a genus of plants in the ginger family. It has 3 known species, all native to Indochina. All three were initially described in 1895 as members of Hemiorchis, then transferred to the newly created Gagnepainia in 1904.

  1. Gagnepainia godefroyi (Baill.) K.Schum. in H.G.A.Engler - Thailand, Myanmar, Cambodia
  2. Gagnepainia harmandii (Baill.) K.Schum. in H.G.A.Engler - Cambodia
  3. Gagnepainia thoreliana (Baill.) K.Schum. in H.G.A.Engler - Vietnam

The genus was named for French botanist François Gagnepain, who described many new species from the former colony of French Indochina.
