Ecklonia kurome (Japanese: 黑布 (kurome), Chinese: 鹅掌菜) is a brown alga species in the genus Ecklonia found in the Sea of Japan.

The phlorotannins eckol,[1] phlorofucofuroeckol A[2] and 8,8'-bieckol[3] can be found in Ecklonia kurome.

An oligosaccharide extract from Ecklonia kurome called GV-971 (zh) is approved in China for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease, but the evidence is highly dubious.[4]
