Rivasgodaya is a monotypic genus of flowering plants belonging to the legume family, Fabaceae. It just contains one species, Rivasgodaya nervosa.[2]

It is native to the Canary Islands.[2]

The genus name of Rivasgodaya is in honour of Salvador Rivas Goday (1905–1981), a Spanish botanist and plant geographer, professor of pharmacy in Madrid.[3] The Latin specific epithet of nervosa means veined, originally from nervus.[4] Both the genus and the species were first described and published in Trab. Dept. Bot. Univ. Granada Vol.2 on pages 81-82 in 1973.[2]

It is also thought to be a synonym for Teline nervosa.[5]
