Cynodonteae is a large tribe of grasses in the subfamily Chloridoideae, with over 800 species.{{cite journal|last1=Soreng|first1=Robert J.|last2=Peterson|first2=Paul M.|last3=Romaschenko|first3=Konstantin|last4=Davidse|first4=Gerrit|last5=Teisher|first5=Jordan K.|last6=Clark|first6=Lynn G.|last7=Barberá|first7=Patricia|last8=Gillespie|first8=Lynn J.|last9=Zuloaga|first9=Fernando O.|title=A worldwide phylogenetic classification of the Poaceae (Gramineae) II: An update and a comparison of two 2015 classifications|journal=Journal of Systematics and Evolution|volume=55|issue=4|year=2017|pages=259–290|issn=16744918|doi=10.1111/jse.12262|doi-access=free|hdl=10261/240149|hdl-access=free}}{{open access}}{{cite journal|last1=Peterson|first1=PM|last2=Romaschenko|first2=K|last3=Johnson|first3=G|title=A phylogeny and classification of the Muhlenbergiinae (Poaceae: Chloridoideae: Cynodonteae) based on plastid and nuclear DNA sequences.|journal=American Journal of Botany|date=September 2010|volume=97|issue=9|pages=1532–54|pmid=21616906|doi=10.3732/ajb.0900359}}{{cite journal|last1=Peterson|first1=PM|last2=Romaschenko|first2=K|last3=Johnson|first3=G|title=A classification of the Chloridoideae (Poaceae) based on multi-gene phylogenetic trees.|journal=Molecular Phylogenetics & Evolution|date=May 2010|volume=55|issue=2|pages=580–98|pmid=20096795|doi=10.1016/j.ympev.2010.01.018}}{{cite journal|last1=Hilu|first1=Khidir|last2=Alice|first2=Lawrence|title=A Phylogeny of Chloridoideae (Poaceae) Based on matK Sequences|journal=Systematic Botany|date=April 2001|volume=26|issue=2|pages=386–405|jstor=2666713|doi=10.1043/0363-6445-26.2.386}}

Like most of the subfamily, species in the tribe are adapted to warm, arid climates and use the C₄ photosynthetic pathway. Some species, such as Bermuda grass (Cynodon dactylon) or goosegrass (Eleusine indica), are widespread weeds, introduced in many countries.

Most of the 94 genera are classified in one of 21 subtribes, but some are still unplaced (incertae sedis) within the tribe.
