Parides burchellanus is a species of swallowtail butterfly (family Papilionidae). It is endemic to Brazil.
Parides burchellanus is a rare species of butterfly (Lepidoptera, Papilionoidea) that lives in central Brazil. Its close relation with a highly peculiar environment restricts its occurrence to a few points. The frailty of its habitat, towards the increasing of loss of natural environments, makes it a prone target to elimination.
