Argonautidae is a family of cephalopods encompassing the modern paper nautiluses of the genus "Argonauta" along with several extinct genera of shelled octopods.

All eggcases possessing nodes, ribs, and a double keel, with the exception of those of "Kapal batavus", have been assigned to "Argonauta". Eggcases lacking these morphological features have been placed in the other Argonautidae genera.cite journal | author = Saul, L. & C.
