Aggregatorygma is a small genus of lichenized fungi in the family Graphidaceae.{{sfn|Catalogue of Life|ref=Cat}}
It was circumscribed in 2014 by Marcela Cáceres, André Aptroot, and Robert Lücking as a monotypic genus, with Aggregatorygma triseptatum as its only species.{{sfn|Index Fungorum|ref=IF}}{{sfn|Cáceres|Aptroot|Parnmen|Lücking|2014|p=89}} Two species have since been added: Aggregatorygma submuriforme in 2020 and Aggregatorygma lichexanthonicum in 2022, both by Aptroot.{{sfn|Aptroot|Feuerstein|2020|p=4}}{{sfn|Aptroot|Fernanda de Souza|Alves dos Santos|Oliveira Junior|2022|p=435}}
The genus name is a combination of two words. Aggregato is from the Latin word meaning "aggregated",{{sfn|Foster|1890|p=115}} while rygma is from the Ancient Greek word ρήγμα, meaning "crack".{{sfn|Glosbe|ref=Glosbe}}
Species in the genus are corticolous, growing on the bark of tree trunks in rainforest. All three species were first discovered in Brazil.{{sfn|Cáceres|Aptroot|Parnmen|Lücking|2014|p=89}}{{sfn|Aptroot|Feuerstein|2020|p=4}}{{sfn|Aptroot|Fernanda de Souza|Alves dos Santos|Oliveira Junior|2022|p=435}}
