The Nematophytes are a paraphyletic group of land organisms, probably including some plants as well as algae.[1][2] They are known only from the fossil record, from the Silurian period until the early Devonian Rhynie chert.[3]

The lack of a clear definition of the nematophytes has led to it being used as a wastebasket taxon. All manner of tubes and cell-patterned cuticles from the Silurian are called "nematophytic".
