Labramia is a genus of plants in the family Sapotaceae described as a genus in 1844. De Candolle initially named the genus Delastrea, which is a homonym for an older fungus name by Tulasne, so De Candolle changed the name to Labramia in the appendix to the same book.

Labramia is native to certain islands in the Indian Ocean (Madagascar and nearby Mayotte).
