Schroederia is a genus of green algae in the family Schroederiaceae.[1] Schroederiaceae is a monotypic taxon; Schroederia is its only genus.[2]

The genus was circumscribed by Ernst Johann Lemmermann in Hedwigia vol.37 on page 311 in 1898. The genus name of Schroederia is in honour of Ludwig Julius Bruno Schröder (1867–1928), who was a German teacher, botanist (Algology and Bryology), also Hydrobiologist and Zoologist. He worked as a deputy head teacher in Breslau.[3]
