Allopyrenis is a genus of rock-dwelling cyanolichens (lichens that partner with cyanobacteria rather than green algae) in the family Phylliscaceae (order Lichinales). The genus was introduced in 2024 during a broad re-classification of the class Lichinomycetes; its type species is Allopyrenis sanguinea. Seven species, most of them long treated in Pyrenopsis, were transferred to Allopyrenis to reflect new phylogenetic results.
