Kaloplocamus maculatus is a species of sea slug, a nudibranch, a shell-less marine gastropod mollusc in the family Polyceridae.

This species was described from Chile as Euplocamus maculatus. Recent finds of larger animals from this area suggest that it may actually be a Plocamopherus species, but the name Plocamopherus maculatus is occupied by another species.
