Farfantepenaeus is a genus of prawns in the family Penaeidae.

Its eight species[3] were formerly included in the genus Penaeus.

[4] It was first published as a genus name in 1972 by Rudolf N. Burukovsky, but without the necessary designation of a type species.

[2] The name Farfantepenaeus commemorates the Cuban carcinologist Isabel Pérez Farfante.
