Hydrocotyle (Pennywort) is a genus of aquatic or semi-aquatic plants formerly classified in the family Apiaceae, now in the family Araliaceae. At least two species are now classed as invasive aliens following introductions outside of their normal range.

About 75(–100) species: tropical and temperate regions worldwide.

The leaves are generally orbicular, hence the common name.
