Bushizheia is an extinct genus of arthropods known from a single specimen found in the Early Cambrian Maotianshan Shales Lagerstätte in China. The genus contains a single species, Bushizheia yangi. While it had a superficially trilobite-like bodyform, it also possessed large frontal appendages similar to those of radiodonts. It is morphologically similar to Kiisortoqia to which it is probably closely related.
