Australoricus is a genus of Loricifera, a group of microscopic marine animals that live in sediment on the sea floor, placed in the order Nanaloricida and family Nanaloricidae. Its only described species, Australoricus oculatus, was discovered in sea caves off the coast of New South Wales, Australia, and described in 2009 by Iben Heiner, Tom Boesgaard, and Reinhardt Kristensen as part of the first record of Loricifera from Australian waters.
