Sirodotia Kylin (1912) is a genus of freshwater red alga in the Batrachospermaceae family, found in temperate and tropical waters. It was first described by Kylin in 1912.
== Etymology == The genus name of Sirodotia is in honour of Simon Sirodot (1825–1903), who was a French botanist and algologist. He was also a zoologist and archaeologist, who taught at schools in Toulouse, Strasbourg, Le Mans, Cahors and Limoges.
