Nothoscordum borbonicum, also known as Onion Weed, is a bulbous perennial of the family Alliaceae, closely related to and resembling species of the genus Allium. It is a native of South America but has become naturalised as a weed in many other parts of the world, including southern Australia. The whitish flowers are sweetly scented.

The binomial names Nothoscordum inodorum and Nothoscordum fragrans have been commonly applied to this plant, but another species was also called Allium inodorum which is now called A. neapolianum.
