Ramonda is a genus of flies in the family Tachinidae.
Ramonda is a genus of three species of flowering plants in the family Gesneriaceae, native to shady, rocky places in north eastern Spain, the Pyrenees and south eastern Europe. They are evergreen perennials which form rosettes of crinkly leaves with nearly actinomorphic flowers, borne on leafless stems in spring.
The genus is named after the French botanist and explorer Louis Ramond de Carbonnières, who was among the first to explore the high Pyrenees.
Genera called Ramonda exist in both animal and plant kingdoms:
- Ramonda (plant), a plant in the family Gesneriaceae
- Ramonda (fly), a fly in the family Tachinidae

Leaping to her feet, she dashed toward the door, giving Ramonda a quick shove as she ran past.
Fitch had found cause to be wary of the girl, and in view of that fact Ramonda thought it unwise to test her fortitude.
Noticing the food Ramonda was gathering on the trencher, she found an excuse for delay.
He seized the trencher from Ramonda and, setting it on the table, lifted the bread.
Ramonda whirled from the window where she had watched so expectantly and stared in roweling disappointment as the one she had hoped to see fleeing on the street below was hauled back into the room.
