Normandina is a genus of lichen-forming fungi in the family Verrucariaceae. ^[2] It has five species of crustose and squamulose (scaly) lichens. ^[3]

• Normandina acroglypta (Norman) Aptroot (1995) – Europe
• Normandina chlorococca (Leight.) Orange (2022) – Northern Europe
• Normandina dictyospora Orange (2022) – Falkland Islands
• Normandina pulchella (Borrer) Nyl. (1861)
• Normandina simodensis (Asahina) Aptroot (1991) ^[4]

The type species of the genus, Normandina jungermanniae, is now considered synonymous with Normandina pulchella. ^[5]

Lauderlindsaya is a genus that was proposed by David and Hawksworth in 1989 to contain the lichenicolous fungus Sphaerulina chlorococca, which was thought to grow parasitically on Normandina pulchella. ^[6] Later research showed that Lauderlindsaya represents the fertile form of Normandina, and the former name was subsumed into the latter. ^[7]
