Chrysochromulina throndsenii é uma haptofícea marinha unicelular da família Prymnesiaceae. Como outras espécies do gênero, possui escamas características e haptonema. Habita oceanos do hemisfério norte. É componente importante do pico e nanoplâncton marinho. A produção de compostos sulfurados como DMSP por haptofíceas contribui para o ciclo global do enxofre e potencialmente para a formação de núcleos de condensação de nuvens, influenciando o clima global.
