Flavoplaca flavocitrina is a species of crustose lichen in the family Teloschistaceae. Found in Europe, it was originally described as a new species in 1886 by the Finnish lichenologist William Nylander, who classified it as a member of the genus Lecanora. After having spent time in various different genera throughout its taxonomic history, it was reclassified in the genus Flavoplaca in 2013 following a molecular phylogenetics-informed reorganization of the Teloschistaceae.
