Kappaphycus is a genus of red algae. Species are distributed in the waters of East Africa, Indonesia, Malaysia, China (Hainan Island), the Philippines, and Micronesia.

== Description == The genus Kappaphycus is "morphologically plastic", with few visible characters that can be used to separate the taxa, so distinguishing the species can be difficult. In addition, many commercial varieties have been bred. Molecular analyses can be used.
