Emuella is a genus of Cambrian trilobites of the family Emuellidae. Its fossils have been found in South Australia.
==Etymology== The genus name means "little emu", and refers to Emu Bay Shale, on Kangaroo Island, one of the sites where fossils of Emuella have been collected. The species epithet polymera is derived from Greek words πολύ -poly- meaning "many"; and μέρος -meros- meaning "part", for the many segmented thorax. E. dalgarnoi is named after R.C. Dalgarno, who discovered Balcoracania dailyi in the Flinders Ranges, near Blinman, South Australia.
