Charophyceae is a class of charophyte green algae. AlgaeBase places it in division Charophyta.[1] Extant (living) species are placed in a single order Charales,[2] commonly known as "stoneworts" and "brittleworts". Fossil members of the class may be placed in separate orders, e.g. Sycidiales and Trochiliscales.[1]

Charophyceae is basal in the Phragmoplastophyta clade which contains the embryophytes (land plants).[3][4][5] In 2018, the first nuclear genome sequence from a species belonging to the Charophyceae was published: that of Chara braunii.[6]
