Utricularia unifolia is a species of perennial, medium-sized carnivorous plant that belongs to the family Lentibulariaceae. U. unifolia is native to Central America and western South America. It was originally published and described by Hipólito Ruiz López and José Antonio Pavón Jiménez in 1797 and later considered a synonym of Utricularia alpina until Peter Taylor's 1989 monograph on the genus where he restored the species as distinct from U. alpina. It grows as a terrestrial or epiphytic plant on moss-covered trees, rocks, or banks in cloud forests at altitudes between 2,000 m (6,562 ft) and 3,000 m (9,843 ft). U. unifolia usually produces only one leaf, which is where the species epithet "unifolia" is derived from.

This could possibly be attributed to changes in boundaries between the two countries, as modern sources list the species as endemic to Chile.
