Puccinia malvacearum, also known as hollyhock or mallow rust, is a species within the Puccinia genus known for attacking members of the Malvaceae family. An autoecious pathogen, it can complete its life cycle using a single host.

Suggested control measures include sanitation (removal or destruction of affected plants or plant portions) or treatment with fungicides.
