Carabus scabrosus, common name huge violet ground beetle, is a species of beetles of the family Carabidae.
Carabus scabrosus can reach about 50 millimetres (2.0 in) in length and about 30 millimetres (1.2 in) in width in the broadest part of elytra. This is among the largest of the known Carabus beetles. The basic colour varies from bluish black to violet or dark reddish brown. The thorax is broad, truncated anteriorly and posteriorly, very slightly convex. The elytrtra are oval, convex and covered throughout with small tubercles. Also the pronotum has a rugose, granular surface.

Carabus is a genus of beetles in family Carabidae. The genus is highly diverse with 94 subgenera, 959 species and 2300 subspecies, thus is the largest genus in the subfamily Carabinae. The vast majority are native to the Palearctic, but 16 Nearctic species are also known. Carabus spp. are 12–50 mm (0.47–1.97 in) long, and most species are wingless and often very colourful. These are nocturnal, predatory beetles that feed on snails, earthworms, and caterpillars. Most Carabus species were thought to have inhabited the Eurasian forest, but the species' low dispersal abilities altered the distribution of lineages within the genus.
