Celatoblatta is a genus of cockroaches in the family Blattidae with species from Australia, New Zealand and New Caledonia.

[1] "Celato" means concealed and the members of this genus are all small, fast-moving nocturnal species that hide during the day under bark and rocks.

[1] The genus was created by Peter Johns in 1966,[3] and Karlis Princis later added several species from Australia, New Guinea, and New Caledonia.

[2][11] Most New Zealand Celatoblatta species live in native forest, but four prefer high elevations above the tree line.

[8][3] Australian species are mostly restricted to Queensland, and are generally shiny black with small tegmina and wings.
