Paralithodes bishuensis is an extinct species of king crab that lived in Japan during the Early Miocene.

Paralithodes bishuensis was described in 2017 by paleontologists Hiroaki Karasawa and Yusuke Ando from a juvenile fossil in Aichi Prefecture, Japan. It was named for "Bishu", which is "an ancient place name of the western part of Aichi Prefecture". It represented the first Paralithodes fossil.
