Restio is a genus of flowering plants within the family Restionaceae, described in 1772.[1][2] The entire genus is endemic to the Cape Provinces and KwaZulu-Natal in South Africa.[3]

In common with a number of other genera in the Restionaceae, restios are widely cultivated for use as garden ornamentals for their attractive nodular foliage. They are mildly frost hardy.
