Brontoscorpio anglicus is a species of fossil scorpion. Its remains were discovered in Upper Silurian-aged sandstone from Trimpley Worcestershire and the species was described on the basis of an incomplete single free almost 10 centimetres (3.9 in)long finger of a pedipalp. The complete animal is estimated to be at least 90 centimetres (35 in) long and aquatic. Its carnivorous diet may have consisted of worms fish or other arthropods.
