Paraophthalmosaurus is an ophthalmosaurid ichthyosaur from the Late Jurassic of European Russia.
It was originally described in 1997 on the basis of remains from the Saratov region of European Russia. It was subsequently considered either valid or a synonym of Ophthalmosaurus. However, recent cladistic analysis finds it to be a derived member of Ophthalmosaurinae.
