This category contains articles related to the native lichens of Africa.
- For the purposes of this category, "Africa" is defined in accordance with the World Geographical Scheme for Recording Plant Distributions (WGSRPD), namely as one of the nine "botanical continents". It includes the following regions:
- The Sinai Peninsula, politically part of Egypt, is part of the region of West Asia rather than the botanical continent of Africa.
- Native taxa of the lowest rank are included if they occur widely in the botanical continent, otherwise they should be included in the flora of one or more of the constituent regions. Higher taxa are included only if endemic.
