Gordonopsis is a genus of deep-sea porter crabs in the family Homolidae. The Homolidae are also known as carrier crabs or porter crabs for their fifth pereiopods, which they use to hold objects in place over the rear half of the carapace in a possible defence mechanism against predators. Species of Gordonopsis are found in deep waters of the Indo-West Pacific region. The genus was erected in 1995 by Danièle Guinot and Bertrand Richer de Forges.
