Leprieuria is a genus of fungi in the family Xylariaceae.[1] This is a monotypic genus, containing the single species Leprieuria bacillum.[2]

The genus name of Leprieuria is in honour of François Mathias René Leprieur (1799–1870) who was a French pharmacist and naturalist.[3]

The genus was circumscribed by Thomas Læssøe, Jack David Rogers and Anthony James Seddon Whalley in Mycol. Res. vol.93 (Issue 2) on page 152 in 1989.
