Coryphella is a genus of sea slugs, specifically aeolid nudibranchs, marine gastropod molluscs. It is the only genus in the family Coryphellidae.

== Taxonomy == Coryphella was originally described in an 1850 paper, and included three original species; Coryphella landsburgii, Coryphella rufobranchialis, and Coryphella pellucida. The family Coryphellidae was first established in 1889 by Rudolph Bergh, and was re-established in a 2017 study. Molecular studies have found that many existing genera were actually synonymous with Coryphella, leading to many genera being merged.
