Anaptychia nevadensis is a species of foliose lichen in the family Physciaceae. It was described in 2022 from the north-western Great Basin of the western United States. It is an abundantly fertile, soredia-lacking member of section Protoanaptychia and differs from the Eurasian A. desertorum in having only scant whitish pruina (typically restricted to the lobe tips), longer ascospores on average, and frequent production of variolaric acid.
