Carbotriplura is a genus of insect from the Carboniferous of the Czech Republic. This genus contains one species, Carbotriplura kukalovae, and is the only genus within the order Carbotriplurida. It was previously interpreted as a nymph of Bojophlebia during the former's description, however this was disproven in 1996 when it was found to be a separate order of apterygote (wingless) insects. A 2014 paper then re-examined it, finding it to be the sister clade to winged insects.
