Fritschiella is a genus of green algae in the family Fritschiellaceae. There are three species: the type species F. tuberosa, F. simplex and a new freshwater species from China, F. aquatilis.

The genus name of Fritschiella is in honour of Felix Eugen Fritsch (1879–1954), who was a British biologist.

The genus was circumscribed by M. O. P. Iyengar in New Phytol. Vol.31 on page 335 in 1932.
