Carminodoris is a genus of sea slugs, dorid nudibranchs, shell-less marine gastropod mollusks in the family Discodorididae.
The genus Carminodoris was originally classified by Bergh in 1891 in the subfamily Platydorididae (despite the use of the suffix -idea), a subfamily of the family Dorididae. In 1934 Alice Pruvot-Fol elevated this subfamily to its new status as the family Latydorididae. In 2002 Valdés gave the name Discodorididae precedence over the name Platydorididae..
The Sea Slug Forum however classifies this genus in the family Dorididae.
