Rhipsalis mesembryanthemoides is a cactus in the genus Rhipsalis of the family Cactaceae. The first description was in 1821 by Adrian Hardy Haworth. The shoots are reminiscent of the plants of the genus Mesembryanthemum, hence the epithet mesembryanthemoides.
This species is widespread in the Brazilian state of Rio de Janeiro, on both sides of the Baía da Guanabara, at an altitude below 600 metres (2,000 ft) above sea level.
