Lanceola is a genus of green algae in the family Characiaceae, containing a single species, Lanceola spatulifera. It is found in freshwater habitats.
Lanceola consists of free-floating, single cells. The cell is narrowly spindle-shaped (fusiform), tapered into a narrow spine at one end, and at the other end a lanceolate appendage. The cell wall is smooth. Cells contain a single parietal chloroplast with a pyrenoid, and a central nucleus. It reproduces by forming zoospores with two flagella.
