In [[zoological nomenclature]], a '''subphylum''' is a [[taxonomic rank]] below the rank of [[phylum]].

The taxonomic rank of "[[subdivision (rank)|subdivision]]" in [[fungi]] and [[plant taxonomy]] is equivalent to "subphylum" in zoological taxonomy. Some plant taxonomists have also used the rank of subphylum, for instance [[monocotyledons]] as a subphylum of phylum [[Angiospermae]] and [[vertebrates]] as a subphylum of phylum [[Chordata]].{{sfn|Hutchinson|1973}}
