Verrucaria vitikainenii is a species of saxicolous (rock-dwelling) crustose lichen in the family Verrucariaceae.

[2] The crust-like thallus of Verrucaria vitikainenii is typically medium to dark brown, with a "fleck-like" consistency that is sometimes poorly developed.

The perithecia are partially immersed in the thallus, and measure 0.2–0.36 mm in diameter, and have an ostiole (pore) that is often inconspicuous.

The exciple (the ring-shaped tissue layer surrounding the hymenium) is dark brown to black with a diameter of 0.19–0.27 mm.

[1] Verrucaria vitikainenii occurs on calcareous rock outcrops, and may prefer partly shaded habitats.
