Euglena gracilis é um flagelado euglenídeo unicelular bem estudado encontrado em ambientes de água doce em todo o mundo. É mixotrófico, capaz tanto de realizar fotossíntese na luz quanto de se alimentar de forma heterotrófica no escuro, tornando-o altamente adaptável a variações nas condições de luminosidade. É um dos organismos modelo mais utilizados em pesquisas de biologia celular e biotecnologia.
