Idiosepiidae, also known as the pygmy squids, is a family of squids in the superorder Decapodiformes.[2][3] They are the smallest known squids.[3]

It is the only family in the monotypic order Idiosepida[4] and the monotypic superfamily Idiosepioidea.[5] Phylogenomic analyses have shown that species in the family Idiosepiidae are sister to all other Decapodiformes.[6]
