Brachypauropodidae is a family of pauropods in the order Tetramerocerata. This family has a nearly worldwide distribution. Pauropods in this family are found on all continents except South America and Antarctica.
== Description == Pauropods in this family feature an entire first tergite, but at least the next two tergites are each divided into four to six sclerites. The pygidial sternum has two or three pairs of setae. The middle of the posterior end of this sternum has only one anal plate attached. Like most adult pauropods in the order Tetramerocerata, most adults in this family have nine pairs of legs, but adults in two genera, Aletopauropus and Zygopauropus, have only eight pairs of legs. Each leg has five segments.
