Maundia is a genus of alismatid monocots, described in 1858.[2][3] Maundia was formerly included in the family Juncaginaceae but is now considered to form a family of its own under the name Maundiaceae.[4][5][6] It contains only one known species, Maundia triglochinoides, endemic to Australia (States of Queensland and New South Wales).[1]

The species is listed as vulnerable.[7]
