Afrocantharellus is a subgenus of fungi in the genus Cantharellus. Species in this subgenus are found in Africa and Asia.
It was originally named as a subgenus of Cantharellus, but was elevated to the rank of genus Afrocantharellus by Donatha D. Tibuhwa in 2012 based on morphological and molecular evidence. The genus was reverted back to a subgenus by further molecular-based infrageneric classification in a more recent study and this has been followed by other researchers.
