|} Mexipedium is a monotypic genus of the Orchid family Orchidaceae, subfamily Cypripedioideae, consisting of only one species, Mexipedium xerophyticum. The plant was first collected and presented as a pressed herbarium specimen in 1985. This species was initially described as Phragmipedium xerophyticum by Soto Arenas, Salazar & Hàgsater in 1990, but transferred to its own genus by Albert & Chase in 1992, in part based on results from DNA analysis and its unilocular ovary resembling both Paphiopedilum and Cypripedium rather than Phragmipedium.

The genus Mexipedium is considered to be a Phragmipedium for legal purposes, so it is on Appendix I of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES).
