Normeyera is a genus of flowering plants in the rose family, Rosaceae. It includes nine species native to west-central Europe, ranging from France through Switzerland, Germany, Austria, and Czechoslovakia to Poland.[1]

They are distinguished from other members of the Sorboid clade (Sorbus and relatives) by glabrous to white or grey tomentose leaves having a doubly serrate margin or with very small obtuse lobes. They are believed to be the result of hybridization from three clades, Aria × Chamaemespilus × Sorbus.[2]

Nine species are accepted.[1]
