Neottieae is an orchid tribe in the subfamily Epidendroideae. It contains six genera and over 200 species distributed mainly in temperate and subtropical zones of the northern hemisphere.[2][3] All its members are terrestrial plants, hinting at an early branching with Epidendroideae which is largely an epiphytic group.[4] Neottieae is likely to be the result of a single temperate radiation of epidendroids, although it appears that some lineages in this tribe have crept back into the tropics.[5]

The genus Thaia had been tentatively included in this tribe, but is now placed in the tribe Thaieae.[1] Palmorchis is sister to the other genera and was moved here from Palmorchideae based on molecular evidence. It is the only group in this tribe that occurs in Central and South America and is morphologically isolated.[3]
