Antrodiella is a genus of fungi in the family Steccherinaceae of the order Polyporales.

Antrodiella was circumscribed by mycologists Leif Ryvarden and I. Johansen in 1980. Of the seven original species it contained, only the type, Antrodiella semisupina, remains in the genus;[1] most of the original species have since been transferred to Flaviporus.

Antrodiella was traditionally placed in the family Phanerochaetaceae until molecular studies were used to determine a more appropriate classification in the Steccherinaceae.[2][3] The genus is a wastebasket taxon, containing "species that share common macroscopic and microscopic characteristics, but are not necessarily related".[4]
