Romaniceras is a genus of early Upper Cretaceous ammonites in the Acanthoceratidae subfamily Euomphaloceratinae.
The shell is rather evolute, whorl section circular to oval. Differs from Acanthoceras in having 9 or 11 rows of tubercles, of which the ventrolateral may be clavate (i.e. elongate). Ribs are strong and fairly close spaced.
