"Fischeripollis" is a genus of extinct plants in the family Droseraceae. Several species have been formally described and another has been temporarily designated "Fischeripollis" sp. A. [Macphail, M.K. & E.M. Truswell 2003. PDFlink| [http://odp.pangaea.de/publications/188_SR/VOLUME/CHAPTERS/013.PDF 3. Palynology of Site 1166, Prydz Bay, East Antarctica.] |3.10 MiB "Proceedings of the Ocean Drilling Program, Scientific Results" 188.]

"F. halensis" was described based on fossilised pollen from middle-late Eocene sediments in the Hale Basin of central Australia. [Truswell, E.M. & N.G. Marchant 1986. Early Tertiary pollen of probable Droseracean affinity from central Australia. "Spec. Pap.—Palaeontol." 35: 163-178.] "F. krutschei" was discovered in Saxony, Germany. "F. undulatus" was also native to Europe.
