Preussia is a genus of fungi in the family Sporormiaceae. The widespread genus contains 51 species that grow on dung or in the soil.

The genus name of Preussia is in honour of Carl Gottlieb Traugott Preuss (1795-1855), who was a German (Prussian) botanist (Algology and

Mykology) and Apothecary. He was from 1834 - 1855 an Apothecary in Hoyerswerda.{{cite book | last=Burkhardt | first=Lotte | title=Eine Enzyklopädie zu eponymischen Pflanzennamen |trans-title=Encyclopedia of eponymic plant names | publisher=Botanic Garden and Botanical Museum, Freie Universität Berlin | year=2022 | isbn=978-3-946292-41-8 | url=https://doi.org/10.3372/epolist2022|format=pdf |language=German |location=Berlin | doi=10.3372/epolist2022 |access-date=January 27, 2022}}
