Rostanga crawfordi is a species of sea slug, a dorid nudibranch, a marine gastropod mollusc in the family Discodorididae. Originally described as Discodoris crawfordi, it was redescribed by Rudman & Avern as Rostanga australis. The two names were synonymised by Dayrat. It was named after Tom Crawford, an Australian malacologist who compiled an extensive collection of Opisthobranchia prior to his death in 1966 at the age of 22.
