番茄属（学名：Lycopersicon）是茄科下的一个属，为一年生或多年生草本植物。该属共有约6种，分布于南美。

Lycopersicon was a genus in the flowering plant family Solanaceae (the nightshades and relatives). It contains 13 confirmed species in the tomato group of nightshades; a few others might also belong here. First removed from the genus Solanum by Philip Miller in 1754, its removal leaves the latter genus paraphyletic, so modern botanists generally accept the names in Solanum. The name Lycopersicon (from Greek λύκοπερσικων meaning "wolf peach") is still used by gardeners, farmers, and seed companies. Collectively, the species in this group apart from the common cultivated plant are called wild tomatoes.
