Crupina is a small genus of plants in the thistle tribe within the daisy family.

The common crupina Crupina vulgaris is a notorious noxious weed on several continents. The other species, Crupina crupinastrum, also has the potential to become weedy, but it is not as bad a pest at the current time. These are thistle-like plants with bright deep pink flower heads.[2][3][4]

Crupina intermedia (Mutel) Walp. - North Africa, Iran, Iraq, Turkey, Armenia
