Koliella is a genus of green algae in the order Prasiolales. Members of this genus are found in freshwater plankton, but some are also found on snow and ice.
The genus name of Koliella is in honour of Erszébet (Elizabet) Kol (1897-1980), who was a Hungarian botanist (Mycology and Algology), who worked at the Hungarian National Museum in Budapest.
The genus was circumscribed by František Hindák in Nova Hedwigia vol.6 (issues 1/2) on page 99 in 1963.
