Oceaniopteris is a genus of ferns in the family Blechnaceae, subfamily Blechnoideae, according to the Pteridophyte Phylogeny Group classification of 2016 (PPG I). [1] The genus is accepted in a 2016 classification of the family Blechnaceae, [2] but other sources sink it into a very broadly defined Blechnum, equivalent to the whole of the PPG I subfamily. [3]

Species

As of July 2025, using the PPG I classification system, the Checklist of Ferns and Lycophytes of the World accepted the following eight species: [4]
