Nebalia bipes is a species of leptostracan crustacean and the first species in the order to have been described (in 1780 under the name Cancer bipes). It lives in coastal waters at depths of 5–60 m (20–200 ft) under stones or among decaying organic matter where it is common and sometimes abundant. Its predators include the fish Merlangius merlangus (whiting).
