''Origanum'' ( ) is a genus of herbaceous plant, herbaceous perennial plant, perennials and subshrubs in the family (biology), family Lamiaceae, native to Europe, North Africa, and much of temperate Asia, where they are found in open or mountainous habitats. A few species also naturalized in scattered locations in North America and other regions.
The plants have strongly aromatic leaves and abundant tubular flowers with long-lasting coloured bracts. The genus includes the important group of culinary herbs: marjoram (''Origanum majorana'') and oregano (''Origanum vulgare'').
With their decorative bracts, ''Origanum'' species and cultivars are used as ornamental plants in the garden. The cultivars 'Kent Beauty' and 'Rosenkuppel' have received the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.
''Origanum'' species are used as food plants by the larvae of some Lepidoptera species, including ''Coleophora, Coleophora albitarsella''.
