Geppella is a genus of green algae in the family Codiaceae.[1]

The genus name of Geppella is in honour of Anthony Gepp (1862–1955), who was a British botanist (Algology, Bryology and Pteridology) and cryptogam researcher.[2]

The genus was circumscribed by Frederik Christian Emil Børgesen in Kongl. Danske Vidensk. Selsk. Biol. Medd. Vol.15 (Issue 4) on page 55 in 1940.
