Hexaplex cichoreum, common name the "endive murex", is a medium-sized species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Muricidae, the murex shells or rock snails.

The short spire of the shell consists of eight to nine ventricose whorls that become flat-shouldered and thick with age.

They show six to seven frondose varices, with the fronds elevated and recurved.

The white, almost round aperture has a rather long, open posterior siphonal canal that gradually widens, but is narrow and turns to the right at the beginning.

Regions where it is found include Indonesia, Papua New Guinea and the Philippines.
