Fusicladium is a genus of fungus in the family Venturiaceae. Specimens of Fusicladium may be found across the world.[1] Many species are plant pathogens,[2] infecting at least 52 plant genera including apple trees,[3] pea plants,[4] and peach trees.[1] These infectious species are each often host-specific, meaning they can only survive on specific species of plant.[2]

The precise taxonomy of the genus is still under investigation. DNA analysis has shown that species from the genera Pollaccia and Spilocaea belong in a single clade with Fusicladium.[5] Fusicladium is sometimes written Fusicladium s.l. (meaning "Fusicladium in the wider sense") to reflect this.
