Vangueriella is a genus of flowering plants in the family Rubiaceae. The genus is found in tropical Africa.^[1]

It was originally described in 1987 by Bernard Verdcourt who transferred species from the Vangueriopsis subgenus Brachyanthus to the newly erected genus. The genus has two sections, V. sect. Vangueriella and V. sect. Stenosepalae, with the type species Vangueriella laxiflora and Vangueriella spinosa respectively.^[2] No changes to the taxonomy have been made since then.
