Lagerheimia is a genus of green algae in the family Oocystaceae.[1] It is commonly found in freshwater habitats all over the world,[2] although some species are rare and have only been recorded from Europe or the United States.[3]

The genus name of Lagerheimia is in honour of Nils Gustaf Lagerheim (1860–1926), who was a Swedish botanist, mycologist, phycologist, and pteridologist.[4]

The genus was circumscribed by Giovanni Battista De Toni and Robert Hippolyte Chodat in Nuova Notarisia vol.6 on page 86-90 in 1895.
