Lecidella is a genus of crustose lichens in the family Lecanoraceae.
==Taxonomy== Lecidella was circumscribed by German lichenologist Gustav Wilhelm Körber in 1855. It was not widely used until more than a century later, when Hannes Hertel recognized it first as a subgenus of Lecidea, and then a couple of year after as a distinct genus.
