Water dropwort, also known by its scientific name Oenanthe, is a genus of flowering plants in the family Apiaceae, which includes several species of aquatic or semi-aquatic perennial herbs. These plants are typically found in wetlands, marshes, and along the edges of streams and ponds.

Water dropworts are characterized by their umbrella-like clusters of small white or pink flowers and finely divided, fern-like leaves. Some species in the genus are known for their toxicity, containing poisonous compounds such as oenanthotoxin and related substances. These toxins can be harmful if ingested and can cause symptoms ranging from gastrointestinal discomfort to more severe neurological effects.

Despite their toxicity, water dropworts have been used in traditional medicine and as culinary ingredients in some cultures, although great caution is necessary when handling or consuming these plants due to their potentially dangerous properties.

One species within the genus Oenanthe is Oenanthe crocata, commonly known as hemlock water dropwort or "dead man's fingers." This species is native to Europe and parts of Asia and is notable for its toxicity, containing potent neurotoxins that can be lethal if ingested.
