Trophis is a genus in the plant family Moraceae which includes five species native to the tropical Americas, ranging from Mexico through Central America and the Caribbean to Peru and northern Brazil. It is dioecious, with male and female flowers borne on separate plants.{{cite book|isbn= 9789071236648|title= Moraceae - Genera other than Ficus|work=Flora Malesiana|series=1|volume=17|issue=1|date=2006|pages=1–152|first1=Berg|last1=C.C.|last2=Corner|first2=E.J.H.|last3=Jarrett|first3=F.M.}}

Phylogenetic studies suggested that the genus as formerly circumscribed was polyphyletic,{{cite journal| last = Datwyler| first = Shannon L.|author2=George D.
