Hercosestria is an extinct genus of brachiopods from the Lower and Middle Permian.

[1] They were important reef-forming organisms because of their conical shapes, attaching spines, and gregarious habits.

[3] Species of the genus have been found in Texas (H. cribrosa and H. laevis) and Guatemala (H. notialis).
