Stygobromus arizonensis, the Arizona cave amphipod, [1] [2] is a troglomorphic species of amphipod in family Crangonyctidae. It is endemic to Arizona [2] in the United States.

It is known only from three specimens; two collected at a cave on the Flying "H" Ranch in 1963 and one from a mine near Paradise, Arizona. It has not been collected since then. [2] The main threat to its survival is abstraction of groundwater.

Stygobromus is a genus of amphipod crustaceans that live in subterranean habitats. The majority of the listed species are endemic to North America, a smaller number of species are also known from Eurasia. Most of the North American species live in areas which were not covered by the Laurentide Ice Sheet, although a few species seem to have survived under the ice. A number of species are on the IUCN Red List as endangered species (EN) or vulnerable species (VU); one species, S. lucifugus, is extinct.
