Schizochlamydella is a genus of green algae in the class Trebouxiophyceae.

[2] Schizochlamydella consists of solitary cells or spherical/amorphous colonies of cells embedded in a thin, structureless mucilaginous envelope.

Asexual reproduction occurs through the formation of autospores (two to four per sporangium and arranged tetrahedrally), which are then released through a tear in the cell wall.

The type species Schizochlamydella delicatula was transferred to Phaeoschizochlamys, a heterokont alga in the order Phaeothamniales.

For example, in their 1983 monograph, Jiří Komárek and Bohuslav Fott considered Phaeoschizochlamys to be a similar alga with brown plastids, and the application of the name Phaeoschizochlamys was to a green alga was mistaken.
