Pardosa thorelli is a species of wolf spider in the genus Pardosa that is endemic to Norway. The spider was first described in 1876 and named 'Lycosa thorelli' but was moved to its current status in 1955. Its taxonomy is disputed and the arachnologists Kjetil Aakra and Erling Haugesuggest suggest that it is a member of the genus Acantholycosa. It is hairy and generally dark brown to black without distinctive markings. The male spider can be distinguished from related spiders by its large feet. The female has an unusual epigyne that has a raised brownish shield in the middle of a pear-shaped field.
