Sepiidae
Template:Short description Template:Cleanup Template:Automatic taxobox
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,<ref name="WoRMS"/> a number of which need further verification.
A 2023 paper revived several genera and elevated some subgenera to full genus level;<ref>Template:Cite journal</ref> this classification scheme has been accepted by WoRMS.<ref name="WoRMS">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> As a consequence, multiple species have been split out of genus Sepia, many of them assigned to revived genera.
