"Hydromedusa" is a turtle genus in the family Chelidae, commonly known as the South American snake-necked turtles. They are quite closely related to the South American side-necked swamp turtles ("Acanthochelys") and the snake-necked turtles of the Australian-Melanesian region ("Macrochelodina"), but less closely to the side-necked river turtles of South America ("Podocnemididae") which belong to a more modern lineage of Pleurodira.

This genus contains the following species:
* Brazilian Snake-necked Turtle, "Hydromedusa maximiliani"
* Argentine Snake-necked Turtle, "Hydromedusa tectifera"
