Funchalia is a genus of deep-water prawns of the family Penaeidae. Six species are currently recognised:^[2]

Burkenroad, 1940
(Lenz & Strunck, 1914)
Fujino, 1975
Burkenroad, 1940
(Bouvier, 1905)
Johnson, 1868

Few specimens of Funchalia are present in museum collections, mostly due to the lack of sampling at the great depths where it lives.^[1] It probably has a cosmopolitan distribution.^[1]

The genus was erected in 1868, when James Yate Johnson erected it for the species , which he had collected off Madeira; the specific epithet commemorated Henry Woodward of the British Museum.^[3]
