Vahliella atlantica is a species of squamulose lichen in the family Vahliellaceae. It was first scientifically described as a new species in 2005 by the lichenologists Per Magnus Jørgensen and Peter Wilfred James, who classified it as a member of Fuscopannaria. The type specimen was collected by James from Santa Maria Island in the Azores. Jørgensen transferred the taxon to the new genus Vahliella in 2008.
