Cymodocea is a genus in the family Cymodoceaceae described as a genus in 1805. It includes three species of sea grass distributed in warm oceans.

==Habitat== Cymodocea can be found in clear water and in the high intertidal areas. It is a hardy species and it is adaptable to marginal conditions. Just like other intertidal species, it can commonly be confused with other species of its kind. This species can not handle full exposure at low tide and dry conditions.
