Pelagophyceae is a class of heterokont algae. It is the sister group of the Dictyochophyceae.
All known species are marine. They can be single-celled (coccoid or flagellate), palmelloid or filamentous. Some members (Pelagomonas) belong to picoplankton, and some other (Sarcinochrysis) are macroscopic attached organisms.
