Carrissoa is a genus of flowering plants in the family Fabaceae. It belongs to the subfamily Faboideae. The genus has a single species, Carrissoa angolensis, a subshrub endemic to Angola.[1] It grows in seasonally-dry tropical open bushland and scrub and along watercourses, and forms woody rootstocks in fire-prone environments.[2]

The genus takes its name from Portuguese botanist Luís Wittnich Carrisso.
