Gremmeniella is a genus of fungi in the family Helotiaceae.[1] The genus contains at least 3 species.[2]

The genus name of Gremmeniella is in honour of J. Gremmen (fl. 1953) a Dutch botaniker (Mycology), plant pathologist, from the Forest Research Station T.N.O. in Wageningen.[3]

The genus was circumscribed by Michel Morele in Bull. Soc. Sci. Nat. Archéol. Toulon & Var vol.183 on page 9 in 1969.
