Conorbis is an extinct genus of sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Conorbidae.[3]

This genus was formerly classified in the family Conidae by Vredenburg (1921)[4] in the clade Neogastropoda by Sepkoski (2002)[5] and in the subfamily Conorbiinae by Harzhauser (2007).[6]

Conorbis is the type genus of the family Conorbidae.[7] The type species of the genus Conorbis is extinct.[7] Species in this genus lack nadules.
