Menegazzia opuntioides is a species of foliose lichen from southern South America. It was first formally described as a new species in 1889 by Swiss botanist Johannes Müller Argoviensis, as a species of Parmelia. The type specimen was collected in the Strait of Magellan in southern Chile.[2] Rolf Santesson transferred the taxon to the genus Menegazzia in 1942.[3] Menegazzia opuntioides has also been recorded from Argentina.[4]
