Stigeoclonium is a genus of green algae in the family Chaetophoraceae.[1] There are currently 52 accepted species within this group. However, recent phylogenetics have identified that this group is likely polyphyletic and will need reassessment.[2][3]

The holotype for this genus is S. tenue, described in 1843 by F.T. Kützing. It was first described in 1814 by Carl Agardh under the basionym Draparnaldia tenuis.[4]
