Maudheimia is a genus of Oribatida, the only one in the family Maudheimiidae. All species within this genus are native to continental Antarctica. Adults generally measure around 0.6–0.7 mm in length with a lightly hardened exoskeleton compared to many other oribatid mites. They occupy ice-free areas, called nunataks, in continental Antarctica, typically found under stones, in thin soils, and among moss or lichen patches.
