Conus distans, common name the distant cone, is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Conidae, the cone snails and their allies.

[2] Like all species within the genus Conus, these snails are predatory and venomous.

The yellowish fawn-colored shell is obsoletely banded with white at the middle and upper part, sometimes the bands are not continuous, but consist of irregular oblique markings.

The low spire is convex, with rather obtuse rounded tubercles.

[3] This marine species occurs in the Red Sea, in the tropical Indo-West Pacific and off Papua New Guinea and Australia (the Northern Territory, Queensland and Western Australia).
