Malaxideae is an orchid tribe in the subfamily Epidendroideae.

Taxonomy

In their 2015 review of Orchidaceae taxonomy, Chase and colleagues divided the tribe into two subtribes, Malaxidinae and Dendrobiinae. The latter is treated as a tribe by some authors.

The subtribes included the following genera: Subtribe Malaxidinae Alatiliparis Crepidium Crossoglossa Crossoliparis Dienia Hammarbya Hippeophyllum Liparis Malaxis Oberonia Oberonioides Orestias Stichorkis Tamayorkis Subtribe Dendrobiinae Dendrobium Bulbophyllum

Risleya was previously included, but is now placed in the tribe Collabieae.
