Stirtonia is a genus of lichenized fungi in the family Arthoniaceae.^[1] It has at least 21 species.^[2]

The genus was circumscribed by Annie Lorrain Smith in Trans. Brit. Mycol. Soc. vol.11 on page 195 in 1926.

The genus name of Stirtonia is in honour of James Stirton (1833–), who was a Scottish physician and one of Scotland's leading experts on cryptogamic botany. His investigations in bryology and lichenology earned him a world-wide reputation.^[3]
