Akrav israchanani () is an extinct species of scorpions from the Ayalon Cave in Israel. It is the only species in the genus Akrav and the family Akravidae.

== Description == Akrav israchanani was an eyeless, brown, troglobitic scorpion of about 50mm in length first described from only 20 dry, cuticular remains of hollow carcasses. The combinations of characteristics was unusual enough for the scorpion to be placed in its own, monotypic family, however this has been called into question by later researchers.
