Patelloctopodidae is a family of stem-octopod cephalopods from the Middle and Late Jurassic of Europe. Five genera are currently placed in the family, Etchesia, , , and , Patelloctopodidae is one of two families in the superfamily Muensterelloidea along with the Muensterellidae.^[1]^[2] They are thought to be the group from which modern octopus arose.^[3]
