Calophaca is a genus of flowering plants in the legume family, Fabaceae. It includes nine species, which range from Ukraine through southern Russia and Central Asia to Xinjiang and Pakistan.[1] It belongs to the subfamily Faboideae and is closely related to the genus Caragana.[2] Nine species are accepted:[1]

Caragana lidou, formerly known as Calophaca sinica, was economically profitable historically, but as an effect of overexploitation is becoming less profitable.[3]
