Psorophorus is a genus of lichenized fungi in the family Pannariaceae. It contains 2 known species.

Psorophorus was described as a new genus in 2010 when it was separated from the closely related genus Psoroma. Psorophorus species differ from other species in the family in being corticolous, having adpressed squamules on a distinct, dark prothallus, lacking melanins, having a thin cortical layer and a simpler apical ascus structure.
