Funchalia is a genus of deep-water prawns of the family Penaeidae. Six species are currently recognised: Funchalia danae Burkenroad, 1940 Funchalia meridionalis (Lenz & Strunck, 1914) Funchalia sagamiensis Fujino, 1975 Funchalia taaningi Burkenroad, 1940 Funchalia villosa (Bouvier, 1905) Funchalia woodwardi Johnson, 1868
Few specimens of Funchalia are present in museum collections, mostly due to the lack of sampling at the great depths where it lives. It probably has a cosmopolitan distribution.
