Scyllarus pygmaeus is a species of slipper lobster that lives in shallow water in the Mediterranean Sea and eastern Atlantic Ocean. It grows to a length of 55 mm (2.2 in) which is too small for it to be fished for. The juvenile form was first described in 1885 with the description of the adult following in 1888 as a result of the Challenger expedition.
