Botryoidal Spring is a geyser in the Lower Geyser Basin of Yellowstone National Park in the United States.

Botryoidal Spring is part of the White Creek Group which includes A-0 Geyser and Spindle Geyser. As its name indicates, Botryoidal Spring was formerly a hot spring. In 1996, seismic activity caused to change from a bubbling spring into an explosive geyser.

It erupts for a duration of about one minute with an interval of around 3–5 minutes between eruptions. The fountain reaches a height of 10 feet (3 m).
