The wide stingaree (Urolophus expansus) is a little-known species of stingray in the family Urolophidae, found off southwestern Australia.

This species is regularly caught incidentally by commercial trawl fisheries operating in the Great Australian Bight.

Although it is unlikely to survive being captured and also tends to abort any gestating young during the process, large portions of the wide stingaree's range see little to no fishing activity and overall the species is not threatened.

The first known specimens of the wide stingaree were collected from the Great Australian Bight by the research vessel FIS Endeavour, and described by Australian ichthyologist Allan Riverstone McCulloch in a 1916 volume of the scientific journal Biological Results Endeavour.

[1] The wide stingaree has a diamond-shaped pectoral fin disc much wider than long, with broadly rounded outer corners and trailing margins.

The anterior margins are gently sinuous and converge at an obtuse angle on the fleshy, slightly protruding snout.

The underside is white to beige, darkening towards the disc lateral margins, with dark blotches on the tail.

However, the SESSF only operates over part of the Great Australian Bight, and so the overall level of fishing pressure across the wide stingaree's range is low.
