Engaeus is a genus of freshwater crayfish found in Australia. Fifteen of the 35 species in the genus^[2][3] occur in Tasmania, where they are known as the Tasmanian land crayfish. The behaviour of these crayfish is notable as they live in burrows and construct large "chimneys" at the opening.^[4]

All of the 35 species of Engaeus have been assessed for the IUCN Red List:^[5]
