Hackelia (stickseeds) is a genus of plants in the borage family, Boraginaceae. They are found in North America and southeast Asia. Of the approximately 40 species described, 10 are endemic to California.

The genus was named after Josef Hackel, a Czech botanist. The common name, stickseed, refers to the tendency of the barbed nutlets to stick to animal fur.[2]
