Paracaristius is a genus of ray-finned fish in the family Caristiidae, the manefishes. It is a small genus with mostly newly described species.
Fish in this genus are separated from similar taxa by the arrangement of their teeth. They have compressed heads with very short snouts, small mouths, and two nostrils. The body is oval to rectangular. The lateral line is not visible. The dorsal fin extends along nearly the whole top edge of the body, and the pectoral fin is "delicate" and "fan-like".
