Oryza latifolia, the broadleaf rice, is a widespread species of grass (family Poaceae). It is native to wetter areas of Latin America and the Caribbean, and has been introduced to India, Bangladesh, Myanmar, Laos, and Vietnam. A facultative aquatic perennial, if flooded it can adapt by growing considerably taller.

Oryza alta, treated here as a synonym of O. latifolia, has been used in a genome-editing programme aimed at the de novo domestication of allotetraploid wild rice.
