Chrysothrix tchupalensis is a little-known species of saxicolous (rock-dwelling), powdery lichen in the family Chrysotrichaceae.

The lichen forms a powdery, bright yellow thallus that grows on sheltered, humid rocks in a tropical rainforest environment.

Chrysothrix tchupalensis was formally described as a new species in 2006 by the lichenologists John Alan Elix and Gintaras Kantvilas.

The type specimen was collected in Wooroonooran National Park, Tchupala Falls, Queensland, Australia.

[1] At the time of its original publication, Chrysothrix tchupalensis was known only from its type locality in north Queensland, Australia.
