Paleobotany, also spelled as palaeobotany, is the branch of botany dealing with the recovery and identification of plant remains from geological contexts, and their use for the biological reconstruction of past environments (paleogeography), and the evolutionary history of plants, with a bearing upon the evolution of life in general.

Paleobotany applies the principles and methods of paleobiology to flora, especially green land plants, but also including the fungi and seaweeds . See also mycology, phycology and dendrochronology. Paleozoology uses the methods and principles of paleobiology to understand fauna, both vertebrates and invertebrates.
