Marattia is a small genus of basal, large, fleshy eusporangiate ferns, found in the Americas.
Formerly considered to be a much larger genus, genetic analysis has shown that Marattia in the broad sense was paraphyletic, and subsequently the genera Ptisana and Eupodium were split off. Except for one species in Hawaii, the genus is neotropical.
