Gassicurtia is a genus of lichenized fungi in the family Caliciaceae.
[1] The genus was circumscribed by French botanist Antoine Laurent Apollinaire Fée in Essai Crypt.
[2] The genus name of Gassicurtia is in honour of Louis Claude Cadet de Gassicourt (1731–1799) who was a French chemist who synthesised the first organometalic compound.
[3] It was later resurrected by Bernhard Marbach in his 2000 monograph on Buellia sensu lato.
The genus contains species that are part of the tropical Buellia group with 2-celled ascospores, and which lack algae in the margin.
