Graphoceras is an extinct ammonite genus included in the hildoceratacean family Graphoceratidae that lived during the Bajocian stage, Middle Jurassic in what is now Europe, north Africa, and Iran. [2]

Graphoceras produced a compressed, involute shell with a raised umbilical edge and sinuous ribbing.
