Clypecaris is genus of bivalved Cambrian arthropod known from the Chengjiang biota of Yunnan, China.

The genus was initially described for the type species C. pteroidea by Hou, 1999.

The species are primarily distinguished by the presence of a serrated edge on the front of the carapace of C. serrata.

C. serrata is noted for the modification of an anterior pair of limbs into spined grasping appendages, indicating a predatory lifestyle.

It is unknown whether a similar structure was present in C.
