''Thelephora anthocephala'' is a species of coral fungus in the family Thelephoraceae. It was originally described as new to science in 1786 by French botanist Jean Baptiste François Pierre Bulliard, who placed it in the genus ''Clavaria''. Elias Fries transferred it to ''Thelephora'' in his 1838 work ''Epicrisis Systematis Mycologici''.
