Phlyctis is a genus of fungi in the order Ostropales. Members of the genus are commonly called blemished lichens.

The genus was circumscribed by German lichenologist Julius von Flotow in 1850. The Dictionary of the Fungi (2008) estimated the widespread genus to contain 12 species, but several new species have been described since then.
