Rhizocarpon alpicola is a species of saxicolous (rock-dwelling), crustose lichen in the family Rhizocarpaceae. A member of the Rhizocarpon geographicum species complex, R. alpicola can usually be distinguished from related species by its large and smooth areoles.

R. alpicola is often utilised in lichenometry, a dating technique used to estimate the length of exposure of rock surfaces.

Carbonea intrudens is a lichenicolous fungus that has been recorded infesting specimens of this lichen collected in Austria.
