'''''Monoclea''''' is a genus of liverwort that contains two species. It is the only genus in the family '''Monocleaceae'''. Species of this genus can be found in New Zealand, South and Central America as well as in the Caribbean.<ref name="Campbell1987">{{cite journal|last1=Campbell|first1=Ella O.|title=Monoclea (Hepaticae); Distribution and Number of Species|journal=The Bryologist|date=1987|volume=90|issue=4|pages=371–373|doi=10.2307/3243099|jstor=3243099}}</ref>

Classifications of the late twentieth century recognized a separate order, '''Monocleales''', but later molecular studies show that it is closely related to the liverwort genus ''Dumortiera''.
