Afrocayratia debilis is a species of flowering plant in the grapevine family Vitaceae, native to equatorial Africa. It has herbaceous or slightly woody vines, with 5-foliate leaves and greenish-white to yellow flowers. Its stem, leaves, and sap are used in traditional medicine in various African countries, and the leaves are eaten as a vegetable on the island of Bioko. Its fruits are inedible, although they are fed to poultry in the Central African Republic to protect from influenza and coccidiosis.
