Epilobocera sinuatifrons is a freshwater crab of the family Epiloboceridae. The species is widely distributed in streams of Puerto Rico and occurs also on Saint Croix (the U.S. Virgin Islands).

Epilobocera sinuatifrons is one of the most abundant predatory freshwater decapods in the freshwater streams of Puerto Rico. The juveniles are aquatic while the adults feed also on terrestrial resources on the forest floor adjacent to streams.
