Pavoraja pseudonitida, commonly known as the false peacock skate, is a species of fish in the family Arhynchobatidae. It lives in depths ranging from 212 to 512 meters in the western Pacific Ocean off the coast of north-eastern Australia.[1][3] Its maximum size is 37.2 cm (14.6 in) total length.[3]

Pavoraja pseudonitida might be the most common skate on the upper continental slope of northeast Australia. Although it can occur as by-catch, current levels of fishing in its range are unlikely to pose a significant threat.[1]
