Ocypode convexa commonly known as the golden ghost crab or alternatively the western ghost crab or yellow ghost crab is a species of ghost crabs endemic to the coast of Western Australia from Broome to Perth. They are relatively large ghost crabs with a carapace growing up to 45 mm (1.8 in) long and 52 mm (2.0 in) wide. They are easily recognisable by their golden yellow colouration. Like other ghost crabs they have box-like bodies with unequally sized claws.
