'''''Steineropsis''''' is a genus of lichen-forming fungi in the family Pannariaceae.<ref name="Wijayawardene et al. 2020"/> It has two species. The genus was circumscribed by Toby Spribille and Lucia Muggia in 2010, with ''Steineropsis alaskana'' assigned as the type species. The type specimen of this lichen was found in Skagway, Alaska, where it was growing on a rock in a snowbed at an altitude of {{convert|1051|m|ft|abbr=on}}. The generic name alludes to a resemblance to the genus ''Steinera''.<ref name="Spribille et al. 2010"/> A second species, ''Steineropsis laceratula'', also found in Alaska, was added to the genus in 2020.<ref name="Spribille et al. 2020"/> Molecular phylogenetic analysis showed that ''Steineropsis'' has a sister taxon relationship to genus ''Protopannaria''.<ref name="Spribille & Muggia 2012"/>
The genus name of ''Steineropsis'' is in honour of Julius Steiner (1844–1918), who was an Austrian botanist (Mycology and Lichenology) and teacher. He taught at the k.k. Staatsgymnasium (a State Grammar School) in Vienna.<ref>{{cite book | last=Burkhardt | first=Lotte | title=Eine Enzyklopädie zu eponymischen Pflanzennamen |trans-title=Encyclopedia of eponymic plant names | publisher=Botanic Garden and Botanical Museum, Freie Universität Berlin | year=2022 | isbn=978-3-946292-41-8 | url=https://doi.org/10.3372/epolist2022|format=pdf |language=German |location=Berlin | doi=10.3372/epolist2022 |access-date=January 27, 2022}}</ref>
