The Chlorellales are an order of green algae in the class Trebouxiophyceae. [1]

The Chlorellales include mostly freshwater or terrestrial (rarely marine), coccoid algae. [2] Molecular phylogenetic studies mostly tend to find Chlorellales to consist of two sister clades, corresponding to Chlorellaceae and Oocystaceae; however, in some studies the two are not sister to each other, making Chlorellales not monophyletic. [3]

Genera of uncertain placement include: [4]
