The Barrandeoceratidae is a family of coiled nautiloids included in the Tarphycerida (sensu lato) that lived from the Middle Ordovician to the Middle Devonian, characterised by mostly compressed shells with a subcentral siphuncle composed of thin-walled segments that may become secondarily ventral.
The Barrandeoceratidae are derived from the tarphyceratid genus, Centrotarphyceras through Barrandeoceras (Flower 1984), and is the source for the Uranoceratidae and Nephriticeratidae.
Sometimes a fourth family, the Bickmoritidae, is added, based on the genus Bickmorites.
Genera (Flower 1984) include Barrandeoceras, Centrocyrtoceras, Paquettoceras, Savageoceras, Gasconsoceras, Haydenoceras, and Paraplectoceras; and if included, Bickmorites.
Avilionella and Laureloceras, included in the Barrandeocerida in the Treatise on Invertebrate Paleontology Part K (1964) have been removed to the Plectoceratidae.
