Leproplaca xantholyta is a species of rock-dwelling, crustose lichen-forming fungus in the family Teloschistaceae. First described by William Nylander in 1879, it forms a thin, bright yellow, powdery crust on shaded limestone and is always sterile, never producing fruiting bodies. It occurs locally across Europe, from Ireland east to Israel.
