Oceanitis is a genus of marine fungi in the class Halosphaeriaceae. It has four species.[2] The genus was circumscribed by mycologist Jan Kohlmeyer in 1977, with Oceanitis scuticella assigned as the type species.[3]

The genus name of Oceanitis refers to the Greek mythology, the Oceanids or Oceanides (the daughters of Oceanus).[4]

Oceanitis cincinnatula and other fungi genera (including Aniptodera salsuginosa) have been found in intertidal mangrove forests within Thailand.[5]
