Kepplerites is a moderately evolute ammonite from the lower Callovian (upper Middle Jurassic) included in the Stephanoceratoidea.

Inner whorls are finely ribbed and have a flattened or grooved venter, the outer whorl has a rounded venter with smooth ribs that cross from side to side without interruption.

Gulielmina and Seymourites are closely related genera, sometimes regarded as subgenera of Kepplerites.

This genus has also been found in Alaska, British Columbia, Madagascar, and Russia.

The International Commission on Stratigraphy (ICS) has assigned the First Appearance Datum of the genus Kepplerites as the defining biological marker for the start of the Callovian Stage of the Jurassic, 166.1 ± 1.2 million years ago.
