Abrothallus halei is a species of lichenicolous fungus in the family Abrothallaceae. It was formally described as a new species in 2010 by lichenologists Sergio Pérez-Ortega, Ave Suija, David Leslie Hawksworth, and Rolf Santesson. The type specimen was collected by Cliff Wetmore east of Hare Lake (Superior National Forest, Minnesota) at an elevation of 550 m (1,800 ft); there it was found on the foliose lichen Lobaria quercizans, which itself was growing on the bark of Acer saccharum. The fungus has also been collected in West Virginia, Maine, as well as in Norway. The species epithet honours American lichenologist Mason Hale.
