Eupodium is a genus of ferns in the family Marattiaceae native to the Neotropics. Traditionally many taxonomists have included Eupodium within the genus Marattia (along with Ptisana). However Eupodium is distinctive among the Marattiaceae in only having one frond at a time (occasionally two) bearing awns along veins and having stalked synangia and one recent molecular phylogenetic study supported the recognition of Eupodium as a lineage distinct from Marattia.
