Zopfia is a genus of fungi in the family Zopfiaceae.^[1] The widespread genus contained 5 species,^[2] until another species was accepted.^[3]

The genus was circumscribed by Gottlob Ludwig Rabenhorst in Fungi europ. exsicc. no. 1734. in 1874.

The genus name of Zopfia is in honour of Friedrich (or Friederich) Wilhelm Zopf (1846–1909), who was a well-known German botanist and mycologist. He dedicated to his whole life with fungal biology, particularly in classification of fungi and dye production in fungi and lichens.^[4]
