Sophora is a genus of small trees and shrubs in the subfamily Faboideae of the pea family Fabaceae.

The genus formerly had a broader interpretation including many other species now treated in other genera, notably Styphnolobium, which differs in lacking nitrogen fixing bacteria (rhizobia) on the roots.
