Dasycladales is an order of large unicellular green algae in the class Ulvophyceae. It contains two extant families, the Dasycladaceae and the Polyphysaceae.

These single celled algae are from 2 mm to 200 mm long. They live on substrates in shallow warm (>20 °C) euhaline tropical marine waters, usually less than 20 meters deep, and protected from waves. They are very large cells. They are able to attain these sizes without numerous internal cell wells because they build calcium carbonate shells around themselves.
