Phaulacridium is a genus of Acrididae grasshoppers.
There are five known species of Phaulacridium:
Two species Phaulacridium crassum and Phaulacridium vittatum are endemic to the Australian mainland and Phaulacridium howeanum occurs only on Lord Howe Island. Of the two New Zealand Phaulacridium grasshoppers, Phaulacridium marginale is commonly found on sand dunes above the high-tide mark, along open grassy river flats and in the sub-alpine zone to an altitude of 1,350 metres (4,430 ft) on the Ragged Range (43°14′47″S 171°06′10″E / 43.246436°S 171.102778°E). It is found only very rarely in exotic grasslands or in built-up areas.
