Minksia is a genus of lichen-forming fungi of uncertain familial placement in the order Arthoniales.^[2] The genus was circumscribed by Swiss lichenologist Johannes Müller Argoviensis in 1882 with Minksia caesiella assigned as the type species.^[3]

The genus name of Minksia is in honour of Arthur Minks (1846-1908), who was a German doctor and botanist (Mycology and Lichenology), who worked in Stettin..^[4]
