A collapsible lobster trap having an external and internal design very similar to existing, non-collapsible traps, which allows a user to transport by truck, boat, or other means, a larger number of traps per excursion than is currently possible. The trap has a rectangular bottom panel to which a first pair of opposed side panels and a second pair of opposed side panels are hingedly attached. A top panel is hingedly attached to one of the side panels and is secured in the closed position by two retaining straps. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, each panel of one pair of opposed side panels is designed with ends overlapping the ends of the other pair of opposed side panels so that the vertical corners of the trap are structurally reinforced while maintaining collapsibility. The trap has two internal partitions made of a net-like material in the form of a funnel shape with the larger opening of the funnel shape being attached to the bottom and long sides of the trap and the smaller opening of the funnel shape attached to the sides of the trap creating multiple compartments. The long side panels each have an entrance opening also made of similar, net-like material forming a funnel to the inside of the trap. The partitions and the entrance openings are of such a design so as to make it extremely difficult for lobsters to escape. An alternative design that omits interior components results in a device suitable for storing such marine creatures when in use, and that is collapsible for easy storage when not in use.
