Under physiological conditions, the inflammatory response acts as a biological defense against tissue damage or infection, and is rapidly resolved once the infection is cleared. However, chronic inflammatory diseases, including inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), have become increasingly widespread in the last decades, placing a burden on the quality of life of affected people and on healthcare systems worldwide. Available drug therapies are often ineffective due to the chronic nature of these diseases, and prolonged administration of drugs can result in severe side effects for the patient or a lack of efficacy. In addition, there is the growing problem of bacterial resistance to synthetic antibiotics. Together, these factors have led to a strong research focus on the discovery of natural products capable of treating IBD. Recently, there has been a growing interest in compounds derived from marine sources, mainly algae, due to their bioactive secondary metabolites with anti-inflammatory properties well known in the literature. Based on this evidence, this review aimed to evaluate the anti-inflammatory potential of algae-derived biomolecules in IBD. In particular, interesting species from green algae (e.g.,
