Paratopism is a well‐known action of the wreath productS n ≀ S 3on Latin squares of order n . A paratopism that maps a Latin square to itself is an autoparatopism of that Latin square. Let Par( n ) denote the set of paratopisms that are an autoparatopism of at least one Latin square of order n . We prove a number of general properties of autoparatopisms. Applying these results, we determine Par( n ) for n ⩽ 17 . We also study the proportion of all paratopisms that are in Par( n ) as n → ∞ .
