Glyptoxanthus is a genus of crabs in the family Xanthidae containing the following species: It was originally erected by Alphonse Milne-Edwards in 1879 for six species previously placed in the genus Actaea and elsewhere. Although previously included in subfamily Euxanthinae the genus has a quite distinct morphology from other genera in that group and was placed in 2011 in the new monotypic subfamily Glyptoxanthinae by Jose Christopher Mendoza and Danièle Guinot.
