'''''Daguinaspis''''' is an early Cambrian trilobite genus found in Morocco. Like the closely related ''Choubertella'' and ''Wolynaspis'', but unlike any other Fallotaspidoidea, it lacks genal spines.

== Distribution == Cambrian of the Anti-Atlas, Morocco, 30.4° N, 8.8° W (Daguinaspis trilobite zone, Tazemmourt Section<ref>G. Geyer, E. Landing, and W. Heldmaier. 1995. Faunas and depositional environments of the Cambrian of the Moroccan Atlas regions. Beringeria, Special Issue 2:47-119, cited in the Paleobiological Database, [https://paleobiodb.org/classic/displayCollResults?collection_no=6275 ]</ref> and Tiout Section.<ref>G. Geyer. 1994.

== Ecology == ''Daguinaspis'' occurs together with the trilobites ''Marsaisia robauxi'' and ''Resserops bourgini'', and the brachiopod ''Brevipelta chouberti '' (Tazemmourt), and also with the problematic ''Microschedia amphitrite'' (Tiout).
