Bellemerea elegans is a species of saxicolous (rock-dwelling) and crustose lichen in the family Lecideaceae.

Found in Antarctica, it was formally described as a new species in 2009 by Norwegian lichenologist Dag Øvstedal.

The type specimen was collected from the Admiralty Bay area of King George Island.

Here, at an altitude of 105 m (344 ft), it was found growing on boulders that were overgrown with the beard lichen Usnea aurantiacoatra.

Its apothecia are more or less immersed in the thallus (aspicilioid), measuring up to 1.1 in diameter, with a dull brown disc.
