Metaxya is a neotropical genus of ferns in the order Cyatheales. It is the only genus in the family Metaxyaceae in the Pteridophyte Phylogeny Group classification of 2016 (PPG I).[1] Alternatively, the genus may be placed in the subfamily Metaxyoideae of a more broadly defined family Cyatheaceae,[2] the family placement used in Plants of the World Online as of November 2019.[3]

The species of the genus are characterized by large fronds that approach 8 ft (2.5 m) in length.
