Callianassa is a genus of mud shrimps, in the family Callianassidae. Three of the species in this genus (C. candida, C. tyrrhena and C. whitei) have been split off into a new genus, Pestarella,[3] while others such as Callianassa filholi have been moved to Biffarius.[4]

Forty-six species are currently recognised in the genus Callianassa:[2]
