Capillipedium (common name scented-tops) is a genus of plants in the grass family. They are native to Africa, Asia, Australia, and certain islands in the Western Pacific.

Capillipedium mistryi is an exception in the genus from India in which solid instead of translucent pedicels are seen and spikelets are multispiculated, racemes comprising up to 25 spikelets. A recently described species, C. yashwantraoi, from Madhya Pradesh, India has been subsumed under the former as a new heterotypic synonym.
