Phallaria was a genus of flowering plants in the family Rubiaceae but is no longer recognized. It has been sunk into synonymy with Psydrax. It was originally described by Heinrich Christian Friedrich Schumacher and Peter Thonning in 1827 to accommodate two West African species, P. horizontalis and P. spinosa.

Former species
