Phlyctis is a genus of lichenized fungi in the order Gyalectales, and the type genus of the family Phlyctidaceae. Members of the genus are commonly called blemished lichens. ^{[2] [3]}

The genus was circumscribed by German lichenologist Julius von Flotow in 1850. ^[4] The Dictionary of the Fungi (2008) estimated the widespread genus to contain 12 species, ^[5] but several species have been described and added to the genus since then.
