Sporochnus elsieae is a marine brown algal species in the family Sporochnaceae, endemic to New Zealand. It was first described in 1960 by Victor Lindauer who gave it the specific epithet, elsieae, in honour of his wife, Elsie.

Lindauer comments that its "most remarkable feature is the series of bull-rush like receptacles along the axes of the branchlets".

Distribution

It is found on Stewart Island on stones in the sub-littoral.
