Chlorospatha is a genus of flowering plants in the Araceae family. Chlorospatha can be found from Costa Rica, Panama, Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru.

The plants are usually found in shaded bogs and are notoriously difficult to cultivate. One of the species, C. kressii is currently believed to be extinct.
