Annickia is a genus of flowering plants in the custard-apple family Annonaceae, subfamily Malmeoideae, within the order Magnoliales. Described by Setten & Maas, the genus comprises about 8–11 accepted species, all native to tropical continental Africa, ranging from West Tropical Africa eastward to Tanzania. A comprehensive revision of the genus was published in 2007 by Versteegh & Sosef. The genus was previously known under the synonym Enantia Oliv. Species are typically trees or shrubs of lowland tropical forests, though limited morphological detail is available in the sources consulted.
