'''''Doridomorpha''''' is a genus of nudibranchs, shell-less marine gastropod molluscs or sea slugs. It is the only member of the family '''Doridomorphidae''' in the superfamily Doridoxoidea.<ref name=KorshunovaMartynov2020>{{Cite journal |last1=Korshunova |first1=Tatiana |last2=Martynov |first2=Alexander |date=2020-11-20 |title=Consolidated data on the phylogeny and evolution of the family Tritoniidae (Gastropoda: Nudibranchia) contribute to genera reassessment and clarify the taxonomic status of the neuroscience models Tritonia and Tochuina |journal=PLOS ONE |language=en |volume=15 |issue=11 |article-number=e0242103 |doi=10.1371/journal.pone.0242103 |doi-access=free |issn=1932-6203 |pmc=7679014 |pmid=33216784 |bibcode=2020PLoSO..1542103K }}</ref><ref name=Korshunova&2025>{{Cite journal |last=Korshunova |first=Tatiana |last2=Fletcher |first2=Karin |last3=Martynov |first3=Alexander |date=2025-08-01 |title=The endless forms are the most differentiated—how taxonomic pseudo-optimization masked natural diversity and evolution: the nudibranch case |url=https://academic.oup.com/zoolinnean/article/doi/10.1093/zoolinnean/zlaf057/8237533 |journal=Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society |language=en |volume=204 |issue=4 |doi=10.1093/zoolinnean/zlaf057 |issn=0024-4082|url-access=subscription }}</ref> It is a monotypic genus, represented by the single species '''''Doridomorpha gardineri'''''.<ref name=WoRMS/> It can occasionally be found on the coral ''Heliopora''.<ref>Johnson, S. , 2018.

==Taxonomy== The phylogenetic position of ''Doridomorpha'' was clarified in 2020 as a result of an integrative taxonomic study of the family Tritoniidae and its close relatives, which recovered a clustering of ''Doridomorpha'', ''Doridoxa'', and ''Heterodoris'', with this group closely related to the family Arminidae.<ref name=KorshunovaMartynov2020/>
