Rebecca is a genus of photosynthetic, flagellated marine haptophytes. It is one of four genera in the family Pavlovaceae.[1] The holotype species, R. salina, was described in 2000 by J.C. Green; it is one of three species currently accepted in the genus. Also in the genus is R. helicata, which was described in the same publication as R. salina,[1] and the third member is R. billiardiae, which was described in 2023.[2] R. helicata and R. salina were both previously considered to be within the genus Pavlova.
