Craibia is a genus of flowering plants in the family Fabaceae. It contains nine species native to sub-Saharan Africa, ranging from Liberia east to the Horn of Africa and south to the Cape Provinces of South Africa.[1]

Craibia was named for William Grant Craib (1882–1933), a British botanist who was an Assistant for India at Kew and a professor at Aberdeen University, the author of Contributions to the Flora of Siam (1912) and Florae siamensis enumeratio (1925). The genus Craibia was published in 1911 by British botanist Stephen Troyte Dunn.[2][3]
