Clauseneae is one of the two tribes of the flowering plant family Rutaceae, subfamily Aurantioideae, the other being Citreae, which includes Citrus.

The tribe comprises five genera: Micromelum, Glycosmis, Clausena, Murraya, and Merrillia; considered to be the more primitive genera of the orange subfamily.{{Cite journal |last1=Mou |first1=Feng-Juan |last2=Zhang |first2=Dian-Xiang |date=September 2012 |title=Chromosome studies in the tribe Clauseneae and the cytological homogeneity in the orange subfamily (Aurantioideae, Rutaceae) |url=https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.1759-6831.2012.00193.x |journal=Journal of Systematics and Evolution |language=en |volume=50 |issue=5 |pages=460–466 |doi=10.1111/j.1759-6831.2012.00193.x|s2cid=83972938 |url-access=subscription }} The members can be distinguished from the Citreae tribe by their odd-pinnate leaves, with the leaflets alternately attached to the rachis.
