Moranopteris achilleifolia is a species of fern in the family Polypodiaceae. It is native to Brazil and Argentina.[1][2] It is also placed in the genus Grammitis.[2]

Under the synonym Polypodium piligerum, in 2003, it was regarded as endemic to Ecuador and threatened by habitat loss.[3] However, more recent sources do not record it as occurring in Ecuador.[1][2]
