Viola odorata is a species of flowering plant in the family Violaceae, native to Europe and Asia. This small hardy herbaceous perennial is commonly known as wood violet, sweet violet, English violet, common violet, florist's violet, or garden violet. It has been introduced into the Americas and Australia.

In herbal medicine, V. odorata has been used for the treatment of whooping cough, headaches, migraine, insomnia, sore throat and epilepsy in children and adults, and clinical studies appear to confirm the safety and efficacy of V. odorata syrup in cough, insomnia and migraine treatments, and in treatment of pain, fever, cough, skin disorder, infection and inflammation.
