Gnaphalieae is a tribe of flowering plants in the family Asteraceae. This group is most diverse in South America, Southern Africa and Australia. It is sometimes commonly called the pussy's-toes tribe. There are only a few genera in the northern hemisphere, such as "Antennaria", "Leontopodium" (edelweiss), and "Anaphalis".

It is most closely related to the tribes Anthemideae, Astereae, and Calenduleae.

The classification of the tribe into subtribes is unclear, with a number of past classifications not being supported by late 20th century evidence.cite journal | url = http://www.amjbot.org/cgi/content/full/87/2/259 | title = Phylogeny of South African Gnaphalieae (Asteraceae) based on two noncoding chloroplast sequences | author = Randall J.
