Halegrapha is a genus of lichen-forming fungi in the family Graphidaceae. It has nine species.^[1] The genus was circumscribed in 2011 by Eimy Rivas Plata and Robert Lücking, with Halegrapha chimaera assigned as the type species. The generic name honors American lichenologist Mason Hale.^[2]

Halegrapha species generally resemble those in the script lichen genus Graphis, but are distinguished by having a hymenium and ascospores similar to those of genus Phaeographis.^[2]
