Gilbertsonia is a fungal genus in the family Fomitopsidaceae. This is a monotypic genus, containing the single brown rot species Gilbertsonia angulipora, found in the United States. Gilbertsonia is characterized by a dimitic hyphal system with clamped generative and well-developed binding hyphae. The generic name honors mycologist Robert Lee Gilbertson (1925 – 2011). ^{[4] [5]}

The genus was circumscribed by Erast Parmasto in Harvard Pap. Bot. Vol.6 on page 179 in 2001.
