Desmazierella is a genus of fungi in the family Sarcoscyphaceae. The genus was circumscribed in 1829 by Belgian mycologist Marie-Anne Libert in Ann. Sci. Nat. Paris Vol.17 on page 82 in 1829 with the type, D. acicola, as the sole species.^[2]

The genus name of Desmazierella is in honour of Jean-Baptiste Henri Joseph Desmazières (1786 - 1862), a French apothacary and botanist, who lived in Lille.^[3]
