Calma glaucoides is a species of marine nudibranch in the family Calmidae. The holotype was described by Alder & Hancock in 1854 from Herm in the Channel Islands, but the nudibranch has since been detected in other parts of the British Isles. It was originally given the name Eolis glaucoides but has since been transferred to the genus Calma. It is an egg predator, feeding on the eggs of fish and cephalopods.
