Lysmata wurdemanni is a species of saltwater shrimp in the family Lysmatidae, historically referred to as the peppermint shrimp in the marine aquarium trade. Taxonomic revisions based on genetic and morphological data have since shown that many shrimp previously identified as L. wurdemanni actually belong to distinct species, including Lysmata boggessi and Lysmata rathbunae, both native to the western Atlantic.
