Bennelongia is a genus of ostracod crustacean in the family Cyprididae. It is probably endemic to Australia and New Zealand and is predicted to be highly diverse. The genus was described in 1981 after Woollarawarre Bennelong who is the first aboriginal to have a long association with the early European settlers of Australia. Prior to 2012 six species were described in Australia. There are currently 15 species of Bennelongia.
