滿江紅屬（學名：Azolla）是槐葉苹科（原屬滿江紅科）的一個屬，現存七種真蕨類漂浮性水生植物，看起來並不像蕨類而更像浮萍^[2]。該屬的植物在一些地區是入侵植物^[3]。

屬名Azolla源於希臘語azo（使乾燥）和ollyo（殺）的合成詞，指本屬植物容易被乾旱環境影響而死亡。

種

該屬的種包括：^[4]^[5]^[6]^[7]

此外還有一部分滿江紅屬植物僅存在化石。

生態

滿江紅屬植物繁殖速度極快，其生物量1.9天就能翻倍^[8]，鮮重每公頃達8至10噸，印度的羽葉滿江紅鮮重甚至能達到每公頃37.8噸^[9]。滿江紅通常葉子漂浮在水上，根則垂入水中。

滿江紅和固氮藍細菌Anabaena azollae存在體外共生關係：藍細菌為滿江紅提供氮素，滿江紅為藍細菌提供糖分。^[10]固氮細菌會從一代滿江紅直接（「縱向」）傳到下一代。固氮細菌在共生關係中失去了不少基因，所以不能離開滿江紅在野外生存。通常限制滿江紅生長的營養素是磷。如果水體獲得了大量的磷（例如通過富營養化），那麼滿江紅經常會爆發式地生長。^[11]

滿江紅在東南亞和東亞是傳統的生物肥料（英語：biofertiliser）。在中國，當春天稻田淹水時，農民會種上滿江紅，使其覆蓋水面、抑制雜菜。當水退去後，滿江紅很快就會死去，留下的植物組織逐漸腐爛釋放出大量氮肥：每公頃每年最多可以提供九噸蛋白質。^[12]
