Hyperlioceras is an extinct genus of cephalopod included in the ammonitid family Graphoceratidae that lived during the Bajocian stage of the Middle Jurassic.

The International Commission on Stratigraphy (ICS) has defined the base of the Bajocian Stage of the Jurassic as the lowest occurrence of the genus Hyperlioceras, at 170.3 ± 1.4 million years ago, which defines base of the Hyperlioceras discites Zone.

This point also marks the end of the preceding Aalenian Stage.

The upper boundary of the Bajocian is indicated by the lowest occurrence of the ammonite Parkinsonia (G.) convergens, at about 167.7 Ma, which defines base of Zigzagiceras zigzag Zone.
