Zannichellia (common name horned pondweed)[1] is a genus of submerged aquatic flowering plant,[2] with threadlike leaves and tiny flowers.[2] It is fully adapted to an aquatic life cycle, including underwater pollination.[1]

There are perhaps five species, including Zannichellia palustris.[3]

The genus is named after Gian Girolamo Zannichelli (1662–1729), Italian botanist.
