Euclymene is a genus of polychaete bamboo worms in the family Maldanidae, first described by Addison Emery Verrill in 1900. The type species is Clymene amphistoma Lamarck, 1818, currently accepted as Euclymene amphistoma (Lamarck, 1818). The species Euclymene amphistoma (Lamarck, 1818) is now unused because Verrill incorrectly changed the Euclymene type species to Clymene oerstedii
