Microthamniaceae is a family of green algae in the class Trebouxiophyceae.[1] It is the only family in the order Microthamniales.

Currently, there are two accepted genera within the family, Coleochlamys and Microthamnion.[2] The two genera are sister to each other in molecular phylogenetic analyses, but share little in common morphologically.[3] Microthamnion consists of branched filaments of cells, and is common worldwide in freshwater habitats. Meanwhile, Coleochlamys is an uncommon genus consisting of irregularly club-shaped cells, and is an uncommon, cold-tolerant alga of freshwater or terrestrial habitats.[4]
