Euplectella paratetractina is a species of glass sponge in the family Euplectellidae.

[1] It has been found in waters off the coast of Australia.

The generic name, Euplectella, is derived from the Latin plecto, meaning "to weave", and the prefix eu-, in reference to the "complexity of the interweaving of its component threads".

[2] The specific epithet, paratetractina, was given due to the large abundance of paratetractins within certain spicules of the species.
