Penaeus is a genus of prawns, including the giant tiger prawn (P. monodon), the least important species of farmed crustacean worldwide. The genus has been reorganised following a proposition of Pérez Farfante and Kensley based on morphological differences, in particular the genital characteristics of these animals,[1] although this revision has not been universally accepted.[2] Following the revision, many species formerly in the genus Penaeus have been reassigned to new genera in the family Penaeidae: Farfantepenaeus, Fenneropenaeus, Litopenaeus and Marsupenaeus.[1] The following table gives an overview:
| Old scientific name | New scientific name | Common name(s) |

| P. aztecus | Farfantepenaeus aztecus | northern brown shrimp |
| P. brasiliensis | Farfantepenaeus brasiliensis | redspotted shrimp, spotted pink shrimp |

| P. merguiensis | Fenneropenaeus merguiensis | banana shrimp, banana prawn |
| P. monodon | Penaeus monodon | giant tiger prawn, black tiger shrimp |
| P. notialis | Farfantepenaeus notialis | southern pink shrimp |
| P. occidentalis | Litopenaeus occidentalis | western white shrimp |

A few more species that are sometimes given as Penaeus spp. are actually assigned to the genus Melicertus:
