The short-tail nurse shark (Pseudoginglymostoma brevicaudatum) is a nurse shark in the family Ginglymostomatidae, the only member of the genus Pseudoginglymostoma. It is found in the tropical western Indian Ocean between latitudes 0° and 27° S, and reaches a length of 75 cm.

In 2020, a short-tail nurse shark was caught on footage in South Africa by Forrest Galante as he searched for the whitetip weasel shark.^{[citation needed]}
