The butterfly stingaree (Urolophus papilio) is a little-known species of stingray in the family Urolophidae, endemic to the continental slope off the Chesterfield Islands.

The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) has listed this ray as of Least Concern, since no commercial trawl fishing occurs within its range.

[2] The bottom-dwelling butterfly stingaree has only been recorded from a depth of 330 m (1,080 ft) on the continental slope off the Chesterfield Islands, northwest of New Caledonia.

[1] The butterfly stingaree has a diamond-shaped pectoral fin disc 113–121% as wide as long, with broadly rounded outer corners.

This species is yellowish to brownish above; the underside is white to cream, with a wide darker band along the lateral and posterior disc margins.
