Paralichthys is a genus of large-tooth flounders.

Most species are native to the coastal waters of the Americas, but P. olivaceus is from northeast Asia.

The largest species reaches about 1.5 m (5 ft) in length.

[1] There are currently almost 20 species in this genus:[1] The American four-spot flounder Hippoglossina oblonga is sometimes placed in Paralichthys by some authorities but FishBase does not and that source is followed here.
