Panulirus gracilis Streets, 1871, commonly known as the green spiny lobster, is a species of crustacean first described by Thomas Hale Streets in 1871. This species belongs to the genus Panulirus within the spiny lobster family Palinuridae. The International Union for Conservation of Nature lists the global conservation status of this species as data deficient (insufficiently studied).

This species is often caught when individuals are still below the legal minimum capture size, a practice that threatens its reproductive cycle.
