Genus Thelypteris is a collective term used to describe a group of ferns that belong to the family Thelypteridaceae.

Some of the synonyms for Genus Thelypteris include the names Goniopteris and Amauropelta. These names were used in earlier classification schemes but have since been abandoned in favor of the name Thelypteris.
