Reseda lutea, the yellow mignonette{{PLANTS|id=RELU|taxon=Reseda lutea|accessdate=20 October 2015}} or wild mignonette,{{cite book |author1=David Chapman |title=Exploring the Cornish Coast |date=2008 |publisher=Alison Hodge |location=Penzance |isbn=9780906720561 |page=43}} is a species of fragrant herbaceous flowering plant. Its leaves and flowers have been used to make a yellow dye called "weld" since the first millennium BC, although the related plant Reseda luteola was more widely used for that purpose.

A native of Eurasia and North Africa, the plant is present on other continents as an introduced species and a common weed. In Australia it is a noxious weed and pest of agricultural crops.
