Pangshura is a genus of geoemydid turtles endemic to South Asia. Its member species were formerly in the obsolete genus Kachuga.[1] A fifth member, Pangshura tatrotia, was described in 2010, but it is only known from Pliocene fossils.[2]

- Pangshura smithii (Gray, 1863) – brown roofed turtle
- Pangshura sylhetensis Jerdon, 1870 – Assam roofed turtle[5]
