Oceanitis is a genus of marine fungi in the class Halosphaeriaceae. It has four species.^[2] The genus was circumscribed by mycologist Jan Kohlmeyer in 1977, with Oceanitis scuticella assigned as the type species.^[3]

The genus name of Oceanitis refers to the Greek mythology, the Oceanids or Oceanides (the daughters of Oceanus).^[4]

Oceanitis cincinnatula and other fungi genera (including Aniptodera salsuginosa ) have been found in intertidal mangrove forests within Thailand.^[5]
