Angiactis is a genus of crustose lichens of uncertain familial placement in the order Arthoniales. It has four species.
==Taxonomy== The genus was circumscribed in 2008 by lichenologists André Aptroot and Laurens Sparrius, with Angiactis littoralis assigned as the type species. This lichen was originally described as a species of Lecanographa by Gintaras Kantvilas. The genus name Angiactis derives from the Greek ("receptacle") and ("shaped"), and refers to the thalline excipulum that covers the fruiting bodies.
