Neoheterophrictus is a genus of tarantula in the family Theraphosidae. It comprises 8 species, all found in India.
== Characteristics == Neoheterophrictus is similar to Heterophrictus and Plesiophrictus, however the females differ by having a different spermathecae structure, which have two receptacles with many lobes/termini at the end.
