Chaerophyllum is a genus of flowering plant in the family Apiaceae, with 35 species native to Europe, Asia, North America, and northern Africa. It includes the cultivated root vegetable Chaerophyllum bulbosum (turnip rooted chervil).

The genus name is an alteration of Latin chaerephyllum, from Ancient Greek χαιρέφυλλον (khairéphullon "chervil"), from χαίρω (khaírō "to be glad") and φύλλον (phúllon "leaf").
