Steinera is a genus of lichen-forming fungi in the family Koerberiaceae.[2] It was circumscribed in 1906 by Austrian-Hungarian botanist Alexander Zahlbruckner, who dedicated the genus name to his friend Julius Steiner, an Austrian teacher and lichenologist.[3] The genus was revised by Aino Henssen and Peter Wilfred James in 1982.[4] In 2017, Damien Ernst and Roar Skovlund Poulsen described some new species, and recombined others into the genus based on a study of the genus in the subantarctic islands of Crozet and Kerguelen.[5]
