Paleozercon is an extinct genus of mites in the family Zerconidae.

[1][2] It was the first zerconid species to be recorded from a cave outside of Europe.

P. cavernicolus differs from related genera in Zerconidae by lacking a characteristic incision in the peritremal shield and possessing a single pair of setae on the anterior margin of the ventroanal shield.

It may have been an oligophagous predator which fed on other mites.
