Zanardinia is a monotypic genus of seaweed in the brown algae (class Phaeophyceae).[2][3] The only species, Zanardinia typus, commonly known as penny weed,[4] is native to the northeastern Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea.

The genus was circumscribed by Giovanni Domenico Nardo ex Giovanni Antonia Maria Zanardini in Mem. Real. Accad. Sci. Torino ser.2, vol.4 on page 236 in 1841.

The genus name of Zanardinia is in honour of Giovanni Antonio Maria Zanardini (1804–1878), who was an Italian physician and botanist who specialized in the field of phycology.[5]
