Eurysquillidae is a family of mantis shrimp. Formerly places in the superfamily Gonodactyloidea, it has since been recognised that eurysquillids are closer to families in the Squilloidea, and so Eurysquillidae has been placed in its own superfamily, Eurysquilloidea ^[1]. It includes six genera ^[2]^[3]:

Coronidopsis Hansen, 1926
Eurysquilla Manning, 1963a
Eurysquilloides Manning, 1963a
Manningia Serène, 1962
Raysquilla Ahyong, 2000
Sinosquilla Liu & Wang, 1978
