Geltingia is a fungal genus in the family Helicogoniaceae. It is monotypic, containing the single lichenicolous species Geltingia associata.[2] The genus was circumscribed in 1990 by mycologists Vagn Alstrup and David Leslie Hawksworth. The genus name honours Danish scientist Paul Gelting.[3]

It has a circumpolar distribution. It is known to grow on the lichens Ochrolechia frigida[4] and Ochrolechia upsaliensis.[5]
