Rutstroemia is a genus of fungi in the family Rutstroemiaceae. It was circumscribed by Petter Karsten in 1871.
The genus name of Rutstroemia is in honour of Carl Birger Rutström (1758–1826), who was a Swedish teacher, botanist and mycologist. Between 1794 and 1798, he worked at the Royal Academy of Turku in Åbo.
