Utricularia geoffrayi is a small, probably perennial, terrestrial carnivorous plant in the family Lentibulariaceae. It is native to Australia, Cambodia, Laos, Thailand and Vietnam.[1] It was originally published and described by François Pellegrin in 1920. It grows as a terrestrial plant among short grasses in or around rice fields at altitudes from sea level to 1,300 m (4,265 ft). It has been collected in flower between September and December.[3]

Utricularia ramosissima from Ubon Ratchathani Province in northeastern Thailand was described as a separate species.[4] It is regarded as a synonym of U. geoffrayi.[2]
