Stanleycaris (meaning "crab of Stanley Glacier") is an extinct, monotypic genus of anomalocaridid which existed in Canada, during the middle Cambrian. Its fossils were found in the Burgess Shale in ^[1] and also informally reported from Mount Odaray.^[2]

Putative lobopodian species Aysheaia prolata from Utah, United States were reinterpreted as an isolated frontal appendage of a member of the genus Stanleycaris by Pates, Daley & Ortega-Hernández (2017).^[3]
