Grimpoteuthis abyssicola, commonly known as the red jellyhead,[3] is a species of small deep-sea octopus known from two specimens.

The holotype specimen was a female collected on the Lord Howe Rise (central Tasman Sea off New Zealand), between 3154 and 3180 meters depth.

[6] The octopus has very delicate tissues, making it susceptible to damage by trawling nets.

[3] The female type specimen had a mantle about 75 millimeters long, while its total body reached 305 millimeters long (the male specimen had a longer mantle length at 99 mm, but a shorter total length of 245 mm).

Present records of this species are too few to assess its conservation status (but it is likely not threatened given its abyssal distribution).
