'''''Callaionautilus''''' is a genus of cephalopods included in the [nautilid](/source/Nautilida) family [Clydonautilidae](/source/Clydonautilidae) that lived during the Late [Triassic](/source/Triassic). Its fossils have been found on the island of Timor.

The shell of ''Callaionautilus'' is involute, coiled such that only the outer whorl is exposed. Early whorls have nodes on the ventral shoulder that disappear toward the aperture. Later whorls have a nodose keel bordered by furrows. The [siphuncle](/source/siphuncle) position is unknown.

''[Clydonautilus](/source/Clydonautilus)'', ''[Cosmonautilus](/source/Cosmonautilus)'', ''[Proclydonautilus](/source/Proclydonautilus)'', and ''[Styrionautilus](/source/Styrionautilus)'' are closely related genera belonging to the same family.
