Noveloa is a genus of aquatic flowering plants in the family Podostemaceae. Species of the genus are distributed across north and west Mexico in seasonally dry tropical areas, and plants are found in shallow, clear, fast-flowing rivers.
== Taxonomy == Noveloa was formally described in 2011 by C. Thomas Philbrick, and was named in honor of Alejandro Novelo Retana, an aquatic angiosperm researcher. It was split from the genus Oserya and is composed of two Central American species: Noveloa coulteriana and Noveloa longifolia.
