Groenlandibelidae is an extinct family of coleoid cephalopods believed to belong to the spirulids.
Morphologically, its taxa seem to have some belemnoid characteristics, suggesting a possible intermediate relationship.

Groenlandibelus Jeletzky, 1966 Monospecific, Groenlandibelus rosenkrantzi Jeletzky, 1966 (Birkelund, 1956). The fossil range is from Campanian to Maastrichtian. Some material originally was ascribed to Belemnoteuthis before being allocated its own genus.
Cyrtobelus Fuchs et al 2012 Some taxa now assigned to the Groenlandibelus are now assigned to Cyrtobelus. Species: Cyrtobelus birkelundae Fuchs et al. 2012 C. hornbyense Fuchs et al. 2012
