Bucklandiella is a genus of moss in the family Grimmiaceae.

The genus name of Bucklandiella is in honour of William Buckland (1784 – 1856), an English theologian who became Dean of Westminster. He was also a geologist and palaeontologist.[1]

The genus was circumscribed by Heikki Roivainen in Ann. Bot. Fenn. Vol.9 on page 116 in 1972.
