Geoperingueyia is a genus of soil centipedes in the family Geophildae. These centipedes are found in southern Africa and Argentina. This genus contains ten species, including the type species G. conjungens.
== Description == Centipedes in this genus feature a short head, with a dorsal plate that is about as long as it is wide. The coxosternite of the first maxillae is not divided down the middle. The telopodites of the first maxillae each feature two articles. The second maxillae are small, and each features three articles with a small spine rather than a claw at the distal end. The forcipules are too short to reach the front edge of the head. Each forcipule features four articles.
