Leproplaca cirrochroa is a widespread and common species of saxicolous (rock-dwelling), crustose lichen in the family Teloschistaceae.

Ulf Arup and colleagues transferred it to the genus Leproplaca in 2013, following a molecular phylogenetics-based restructuring of the family Teloschistaceae.

The colouration of Leproplaca cirrochroa ranges from dirty to brown-orange, with the ends of the lobes often having a pruinose and paler orange hue.

[4] Apothecia (fruiting bodies) are rare in Leproplaca cirrochroa, measuring up to 0.5 mm in diameter and scattered across the thallus.

[4] Leproplaca cirrochroa is widely distributed, having been recorded from Africa, Asia, Australia, Europe, and North and South America.
