Paratupua is a monotypic genus of araneomorph spiders in the family Physoglenidae found in Victoria, Australia.[1] It contains the single species, Paratupua grayi. Though it's sometimes misspelled Paratupa,[2] the correct spelling is "Paratupua".[2][1]

Both genus and species were first described by Norman I. Platnick in 1990,[2] who placed it with the Synotaxidae. In 2017, it was moved to the Physoglenidae.[3]
