Five genera of Marantaceae with a total of 14 species occur in Thailand. Full nomenclatural citations are provided with notes on typification, synonyms and distribution of all taxa. One generic and eleven species names are lectotypified; one species name is neotypified; twenty‐two new synonymisations are reported; the new combination Stachyphrynium repens (Körn.) Suksathan & Borchs. is also made. Important taxonomic characters for species delimitation and their variation within and between taxa are discussed where new synonymy is included.
