Anatolikos is a genus of two species of crabs in the family Cancridae. They are recorded from Japan[1] and Taiwan.[2] Two fossil species are known, one from Japan[1] and one from Mexico.[3]

These crabs were classified in the genus Cancer until 2000, when it was split into several new genera.[1]

Anatolikos species have a carapace that is wider than long and granular in texture. It is edged with several spines separated by fissures. Five of the spines coalesce to form a front that extends past the eyes, a character unique to the genus. The orbital rims are thickened; the genus Anisospinos has a similar feature, but can be distinguished by its sharp, curving spines.[1]

The genus name is from the Greek anatolikos ("eastern"), a reference to its range in Japan.[1]

Species include:
