Patouillardina is a genus of fungi in the order Auriculariales. The type and only species, P. cinerea, forms waxy, effused, corticioid basidiocarps (fruit bodies) with basidia that are diagonally septate.[1][2][3][4] The species is presumed to be saprotrophic, growing on dead wood. It was originally described from Brazil,[1] but appears to be pantropical, having also been recorded from Brunei,[3] Cambodia, Cameroon,[4] Cuba, Guatemala, Mexico, Panama,[2] and Tahiti.

The ascomycete genus Patouillardina G. Arnaud is an illegitimate later homonym. Both genera were named in honour of the French mycologist Narcisse Théophile Patouillard.
