Badimiella is a genus of lichen-forming fungi in the family Ectolechiaceae. It has two species of foliicolous (leaf-dwelling) lichens.
==Taxonomy== The genus was circumscribed in 1994 by lichenologists William McLagan Malcolm and Antonín Vězda. The genus name refers to the superficial resemblance of the apothecia to those to genus Badimia. Initially a monotypic genus, another species was transferred to Badimiella (from Cyphella) in 2001.
