Anzia entingiana is a species of corticolous (bark-dwelling) foliose lichen in the family Parmeliaceae. Found only in New Zealand, this lichen grows on tree bark in northern parts of the North Island, including kauri forests and coastal areas. It was described as a new species in 1997 by the Australian lichenologist John Elix in honour of the New Zealand lichenologist and photographer Brian Enting. The species forms small, pale grey patches with narrow lobes and produces tall, slender reproductive structures (isidia) that help distinguish it from related species.
