Kalmusia is a genus of fungi in the family Didymosphaeriaceae.^[3] The genus was formerly placed in family Montagnulaceae,^[4] before that was dissolved.^[3] The widespread, genus was estimated to contain about 12 species in 2008,^[5] which has increased to 29 species in 2023.^[6]

The genus name of Kalmusia is in honour of Jakub Kalmus (1834 - 1870), who was a Bohemian doctor and Cryptogam researcher, who was a friend of the plant author.^[7]

The genus was circumscribed by Gustav Niessl von Mayendorf in Verh. Naturf. Vereins Brünn vol.10 on page 204 in 1872.
