Utricularia cochleata is a small, bryophyllous, lithophytic carnivorous plant that belongs to the genus Utricularia. It is endemic to Brazil and is only known from the type location in Goiás. It grows as a terrestrial lithophyte on mossy rocks within range of the spray of a waterfall. The species epithet cochleata refers to the shell-like shape of the recurved corolla.
