{{stub}}[[File:Marsilea minuta 9092.jpg|thumb|right|''Marsilea minuta'']]'''Marsilea minuta''', or dwarf waterclover is a species of aquatic fern in the family Marsileaceae. It is not to be confused with Marsilea minuta E. Fourn. 1880, which is a synonym for Marsilea vestita. Marsilea minuta is quite close to Marsilea quadrifolia, and in fact specimens of Marsilea from China seem intermediate between the two species in sporocarp size and peduncle attachment. Study of a wide range of Old World material of Marsilea would be required, however, to resolve the question of whether Marsilea quadrifolia and Marsilea minuta represent distinct species.
