Dinophysis pulchella es un dinoflagelado planctónico marino de la familia Dinophysiaceae, caracterizado por su célula ornamentada con una prominente lista sulcal que se extiende desde su cara ventral. Es un organismo mixotrófico capaz de secuestrar cloroplastos de sus presas ciliadas mediante un proceso llamado cleptoplastia. Algunas especies de Dinophysis producen ácido ocadaico y otras toxinas lipofílicas asociadas al envenenamiento diarreico por mariscos.
