Allocetraria is a genus of lichenized fungi in the family Parmeliaceae. It consists of 12 species, with a center of distribution in China.
==Systematics== The genus was circumscribed by Syo Kurokawa and Ming-Jou Lai in 1991, with three species: both A. ambigua and the type species A. stracheyi recombined from different genera, and a newly described species, A. isidiigera. Subsequent molecular phylogenetic analyses showed that Allocetraria forms a monophyletic group within the cetrarioid clade in the family Parmeliaceae.
