Zignoëlla is a genus of fungi within the Chaetosphaeriaceae family.

The genus was circumscribed by Pier Andrea Saccardo in Michelia vol.1 on page 346 in 1878.

The genus name of Zignoëlla is in honour of Achille de Zigno (1813–1892), who was an Italian geologist and Paleo-botanist.

He worked in Padua, he became interested in botany (cryptogams and Algae), before looking at geology and palaeontology in Vienna.
