Sepiidae is a family of cephalopods in the order Sepiida, comprising the large-bodied species of cuttlefish, including the type genus, Sepia. It includes 116 recognized species according to WoRMS, a number of which need further verification.
A 2023 paper revived several genera and elevated some subgenera to full genus level; this classification scheme has been accepted by WoRMS. As a consequence, multiple species have been split out of genus Sepia, many of them assigned to revived genera.
