Giant lobelia is a common name for several plants in the genus Lobelia and may refer to:

Giant lobelia and Senecio plants in Mt Kenya.

The giant lobelia span Africa, Hawaii, South America, French Polynesia, and Southeast Asia. Phylogenetic analysis strongly supports that this is a monophyletic group. [3]
