Dictyochloris is a genus of green algae in the class Chlorophyceae.

The prefix “dictyo” is derived from the Greek word “δίκτυο” or “díktyo” meaning “network”,[7] which is in reference to the net-like chloroplast present in this genus.

The chloroplast is net-like, parietal when young, developing into an irregular three-dimensional network.

[4] Dictyochloris reproduces asexually via zoospores or aplanospores, which are produced when the mother cell's contents repeatedly undergo binary fission.

[10] The genus is morphologically similar to Dictyochloropsis, which also has chloroplasts in the form of an irregular, three-dimensional network of strands.
