Scaphispatha is a genus of flowering plants in the family Araceae.

[1] The genus was believed to be monotypic until 2003 when a new species, S. robusta was discovered by Eduardo Gomes Gonçalves in northern Brazil.

The plant had been grown in cultivation for some years, but had always been assumed to be a Caladium until it flowered.
