A survey of Siphonocladaceae from Bahia State, Brazil, is presented as a contribution to the knowledge of the chlorophytes from its littoral. Four genera and five species are recognized: Chamaedoris peniculum, Dictyosphaeria cavernosa, D. versluysii, Ernodesmis verticillata and Siphonocladus tropicus. A key for species identification, descriptions, illustrations, comments and maps of distribution in the State are presented.
