Cascaronia astragalina is a species of flowering plant in the legume family, Fabaceae. It is the only member of the genus Cascaronia. It is a spindly shrub or multi-stemmed tree native to southern Bolivia and northwestern Argentina. It grows in seasonally-dry subtropical forests, at forest margins and along rivers.

Cascaronia belongs to the subfamily Faboideae, and was recently assigned to the informal monophyletic Pterocarpus clade of the Dalbergieae.
