Eurythenes obesus is a species of amphipod of the genus Eurythenes. It was first described in 1905 by Édouard Chevreux.[1]

Eurythenes obesus is found most from the Caribbean to the Antarctic regions but can be found in most ocean basins.[2][3][4] It can grow to over 60 mm (2.4 in) long and looks similar to Eurythenes gryllus.[3][5]
