Geophilus punicus is a species of soil centipede in the family Geophilidae[1] found in the Western Mediterranean, specifically Italy (Sicily, Sardinia) and North Africa (Tunisia).

It's an epigeic species, though its habitat preferences are unknown apart from one record from caves, indicating it may also be a trogloxene.

[2] The original description of this species is based on male specimens with 43 pairs of legs.

The name "Geophilus flavidus Koch" published by Verhoeff in 1925 was probably due to a misreading of G. flavus punicus.
