Brachyphyllum (meaning "short leaf") is a form genus of fossil coniferous plant foliage. Plants of the genus have been variously assigned to several different conifer groups including Araucariaceae and Cheirolepidiaceae.{{cite book|author1=Taylor, Edith L. |author2=Taylor, Thomas N. |author3=Krings, Michael |title=Paleobotany: The Biology and Evolution of Fossil Plants|publisher=Academic Press|date=2009|pages=833–834, 844–845, 848|isbn=9780080557830|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=_29tNNeQKeMC&q=Brachyphyllum}} They are known from around the globe from the Late Carboniferous to the Late Cretaceous periods.[https://paleobiodb.org/classic/checkTaxonInfo?taxon_no=56328 Brachyphyllum] in the Paleobiology Database The type species B. sattlerae was named after the fictional palaebotanist Ellie Sattler from the Jurassic Park franchise.
