Halosaccion glandiforme, also known as sea sacs or sea grapes, is a species of red algae.

It was first described to science by S. G. Gmelin in 1768, in what is arguably the first book to focus on marine biology, Historia Fucorum. Franz Josef Ruprecht is responsible for the current taxonomic description. The type specimen was collected in Kamchatka, Russia.
