Bathypolypus rubrostictus is a species of octopus in the family Bathypolypodidae.

It inhabits the upper bathyal waters at 350–370 m. Unlike all other species in the genus Bathypolypus, B. rubrostictus lives in the Pacific Ocean, while all the other species in its genus inhabit the Atlantic Ocean.

Its body is covered with small, brown-red spots, and its web is pale reddish-brown.

Like most deep-sea octopuses and all species in the genus Bathypolypus, B. rubrostictus lacks an ink sac.

[3] Nothing is known of their lifespan, diet, or biology, as only a single specimen has been discovered.
