Lambiella is a genus of lichen-forming fungi in the family Xylographaceae.[1] The genus was circumscribed by German botanist Hannes Hertel in 1984, with Lambiella psephota assigned as the type species.[2]

The genus name of Lambiella is in honour of Elke Mackenzie (1911–1990), born as Ivan Mackenzie Lamb, who was a British polar explorer and botanist who specialised in the field of lichenology.[3]
