Noteroclada is a small genus of liverworts of the Southern Hemisphere. It is classified in order Metzgeriales and is a member of the family Pelliaceae within that order. Unlike Pellia, the other genus in the family, Noteroclada has a leafy appearance.

The species Noteroclada confluens is known primarily from the southern regions of South America, although it has been reported as far north as Costa Rica, and there is a report from New Zealand. A possible second species is known from South Africa.
