Callinectes bocourti is a species of swimming crab. Its native range extends from Jamaica and Belize south to Brazil, but it has been found as a nonindigenous species as far north as North Carolina.[2] This crab has a light brown shell with red spots and markings on it, and red claws and legs.[2] C. bocourti is edible and has been the subject of small-scale fishery.[2]
