Brachyopterus is a genus of prehistoric eurypterid of the family Rhenopteridae. It is one of the earliest known eurypterids,^[1] having been recovered from Middle Ordovician deposits in Montgomeryshire, Wales.^[2] Though other species have been assigned to it in the past, Brachyopterus is today recognized as containing one valid species, B. stubblefieldi.^[2]
