'''''Meruliopsis''''' is a [[Biology:Genus|genus]] of [[Biology:Polypore|poroid]] crust fungi. The genus was [[Philosophy:Circumscription (taxonomy)|circumscribed]] by Russian mycologist Appollinaris Semenovich Bondartsev in 1959.

Although traditionally classified in the family [[Biology:Phanerochaetaceae|Phanerochaetaceae]],<ref name="Kirk et al. 2008"/> recent molecular phylogenetic analysis supports the placement of ''Meruliopsis'' in the [[Biology:Irpicaceae|Irpicaceae]].<ref name="Miettinen et al. 2016"/><ref name="Justo et al. 2017"/><ref>{{Cite journal|last1=Chen|first1=Che-Chih|last2=Chen|first2=Chi-Yu|last3=Lim|first3=Young Woon|last4=Wu|first4=Sheng-Hua|date=2020-01-02|title=Phylogeny and taxonomy of Ceriporia and other related taxa and description of three new species|journal=Mycologia|volume=112|issue=1|pages=64–82|doi=10.1080/00275514.2019.1664097|issn=0027-5514|pmid=31906813|s2cid=210043101}}</ref>

A cystidium-forming species formerly placed in ''Gloeoporus'' (''G.&nbsp; cystidiatus'') was transferred to ''Meruliopsis'' in 2018 based on molecular phylogenetic analysis. The same study showed ''Gloeoporus guerreroanus'' to be the same species as ''M.&nbsp;cystidiata''.<ref name="Jung et al. 2018"/>
