Drabella is a genus of flowering plants in the family Brassicaceae. It includes a single species, Draba muralis, an annual or biennial known as wall whitlowgrass.[2][3] It is native to southern, central and northern Europe, northwestern Africa (Morocco and Algeria), Turkey, Crimea, and the Caucasus.[1]

The species was first described as Draba muralis by Carl Linnaeus in 1753. In 1868 Jules Pierre Fourreau placed the species in the new genus Drabella.[1]
