Sidneya is a genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Asteraceae.[1]

Its native range is southern central USA (in the states of New Mexico and Texas) to Mexico and El Salvador.[1]

The genus name of Sidneya is in honour of Sidney Fay Blake (1892–1959), an American botanist and plant taxonomist.[2] It was first described and published in Bot. J. Linn. Soc. Vol.167 on page 327 in 2011 by botanists Edward E. Schilling and José Luis Panero.[1] They had described four new genera, Dendroviguiera, Gonzalezia, Heiseria and Sidneya, which are all composed of species that were formerly included in the genus Viguiera.[3]
