Uredo is a genus of rust fungi: long considered incertae sedis in the order Pucciniales, but now placed in the family Pucciniaceae. This long-established genus, together with the closely-related Uromyces (which some authorities consider to be synonymous), give their names to "uredo-type" fungal spore structures such as "urediniospore" and uredinium".
