Wild orange is a common name for several plants bearing fruit reminiscent of oranges. They are not necessarily related to family Rutaceae (which contains true oranges). Plants called wild orange include:

  • Capparis mitchellii - family Capparaceae, from Australia
  • several uncultivated Citrus species (family Rutaceae), particularly Citrus macroptera, from Malesia and Melanesia
  • Osage-orange - Maclura pomifera, family Moraceae, from North America
