Oroperipatus is a genus of Neotropical velvet worms in the family Peripatidae.[1][2] Species in this genus are found in South America west of the Andes and in Mexico.[3] Velvet worms in this genus can have as few as 22 pairs of legs (in O. omeyrus) or as many as 40 leg pairs (in O. bluntschli and O. weyrauchi).[4] This genus is viviparous, with mothers supplying nourishment to their embryos through a placenta.[5]

The genus contains the following species:
- Oroperipatus balzani (Camerano, 1897)

- Oroperipatus bluntschli Fuhrmann, 1915
- Oroperipatus cameranoi (Bouvier, 1899)
- Oroperipatus corradoi (Camerano, 1898)
- Oroperipatus ecuadorensis (Bouvier, 1902)
- Oroperipatus eisenii (Wheeler, 1898)
- Oroperipatus intermedius (Bouvier, 1901)
