Henningsmoenicaris is an extinct genus of Cambrian arthropods from the Orsten of Sweden. It was formerly named Henningsmoenia, however this name was preoccupied by an ostracod, therefore it was renamed. Its genus name translates to "Henningsmoen's shrimp" after G. Henningsmoen. The genus contains a single species, Henningsmoenicaris scutula, with the specific name, scutula referencing the large, bowl-shaped carapace.
