Funchalia is a genus of deep-water prawns of the family Penaeidae.

Six species are currently recognised:[2] Few specimens of Funchalia are present in museum collections, mostly due to the lack of sampling at the great depths where it lives.

[1] The genus was erected in 1868, when James Yate Johnson erected it for the species Funchalia woodwardi, which he had collected off Madeira; the specific epithet commemorated Henry Woodward of the British Museum.
