This is a list of the scorpions of Trinidad and Tobago. The first synopsis of the scorpion fauna came from E. N. Kjellesvig-Waering in 1966 with a total of 8 species. Work by Oscar Franke and Julius Boos, Wilson R. Lourenço & D. Huber and Lorenzo Prendini brought the total to ten species with eight on Trinidad and six on Tobago.
