The Hunan softshell turtle (Pelodiscus axenaria) is a species of turtle in the family Trionychidae, the softshells. It is endemic to China, where it occurs in Hunan, Guangdong, Guangxi, and Jiangxi provinces.[4][5] It is found in Taoyuan, Pingjiang, Rucheng, Lingling, and Shaoyang counties of Hunan province (Zhou, Zhang & Fang, 1991).

The meaning of the epithet "axenaria" is unknown; Gong et al. (2022) suggested that it might be a misspelling of arenaria, which means "of sand" in Latin.[6]
