Orange is a fruit of various citrus species in the family Rutaceae (see list of plants known as orange); it primarily refers to Citrus × sinensis, which is also called sweet orange, to distinguish it from the related Citrus × aurantium, referred to as bitter one. The fruit reproduces asexually (apomixis through nucellar embryonic); varieties of the sweet orange arise through mutations.

This fruit is a hybrid between pomelo (Citrus maxima) and mandarin (Citrus reticulata).^[6] The chloroplast genome, and therefore the maternal line, is that of pomelo. The sweet orange has had its full genome sequenced.

This fruit originated in a region encompassing Southern China, Northeast India, and Myanmar,^[9] and the earliest mention of the fruit was in Chinese literature in 314 BC. As of 1987, orange trees were found to be the most cultivated fruit tree in the world. the fruit trees are widely grown in tropical and subtropical climates for their sweet fruit. The fruit of the orange tree can be eaten fresh, or processed for its juice or fragrant peel. As of 2012, the fruit accounted for approximately 70% of citrus production. In 2019, 79 million tonnes of this fruit were grown worldwide, with Brazil producing 22% of the total, followed by China and India.
