Siphonocladus is a small genus of green algae in the family Siphonocladaceae.^[1]^[2] The algal body (thallus) is composed of long, club-shaped cells that divide by , followed by the formation of branches that break through the mother cell.

The genus occurs in subtropical or tropical seas, in shallow intertidal and subtidal habitats. Most species are rare.
