Present paper deals with documentation of distribution of the economically important algae, occurring at Ranchi district of Jharkhand. Among all the collected samples from the district, those samples which have economic importance were documented with reference of their importance in different fields. All together 107 species of 49 genera, belonging to four classes viz. Cyanophyceae (62 species of 20 genera), Chlorophyceae (32 species of 20 genera), Bacillariophyceae (10 species of 7 genera) and Euglenophyceae (3 species of 2 genera) have been reported from this area..
