'''''Pellia''''' is a small but widespread genus of liverworts in the cool and temperate regions of the northern hemisphere. It is classified in order Pelliales and is a member of the family Pelliaceae within that order.
Süsswassertang, a plant grown submerged in aquaria was once considered to be ''Pellia endiviifolia'', but is now known to be the indeterminate gametophyte of a ''Lomariopsis'' species, a type of fern. ''Pellia'' liverworts are also often confused with ''Monosolenium tenerum'', another liverwort.
