Brachynema Benth. is a genus in the plant family Olacaceae.[1][2] It is a neotropical genus of 1 or 2[3] species of trees. Its placement is still somewhat controversial as molecular data is lacking and morphological data suggests a place outside Olacaceae and instead in Ericales[4][5]
There is a homonymic genus of stinkbugs, Brachynema Mulsant & Rey (1852).
