Hardmanoceras is a Tarphycerid genus belonging to the Trochilidae from the upper Lower Ordovician to possibly the lower Middle Ordovician, found in Western Australia. Hardmanoceras is like Discoceras but prominently ribbed and with a depressed whorl section. The body, or living, chamber is long, 1 1/8 volutions long. The ultimate portion is slightly divergent, not an uncommon characteristic of tarphycerids.

Harmanoceras was named by Teichert and Glenister in 1952. The type us Hardmanoceras lobatum.
