Parabuchanosteus murrumbidgeensis is an extinct buchanosteid arthrodire placoderm. Its fossils have been found in the Late Emsian-aged marine strata of New South Wales, Australia.

It was originally described as Buchanosteus murrumbidgeensis in 1952. Twenty years later, it was reexamined and promoted to a new genus.
