Pulchratia is an extinct genus of brachiopods which lived in marine habitats during the Upper Carboniferous period.

The buttress plates of Pulchratia are convergent, weak or entirely lost in adult specimens, while the lateral ridges are slightly divergent from the hinge.

[1] Fossil remains of Pulchratia are not known outside of North America, suggesting the genus may have been endemic to the continent.

[8][9][10] Muir-Wood & Cooper (1960) placed Pulchratia in the subfamily Echinoconchinae as they believed it lacked buttress plates.

[2] However Lazarev (1982) noted that the genus did indeed possess buttress plates as a juvenile at least, and transferred it into Juresaniinae.
