Woodlarkia is a monotypic genus of stick insects native to Woodlark Island, containing Woodlarkia scorpionides as the only described species. Its systematic position is controversial, as Woodlark Island lies far outside the distribution area of the other representatives of the subfamily Dataminae, and neither illustrations nor type material of the species exist.
