'''''Liobole''''' is an extinct genus of lower Carboniferous proetid trilobite.

== Distribution == ''Liobole'' is found in the European Culm facies and has been collected from the lower Carboniferous across Europe for example from (Visian) deposits of SW England and (Tournaisian) of Poland and as far east as China.<ref name='HahnandHahn2005'>{{cite journal|last= Hahn|first=G. |year= 2005|title= Kulm trilobites (Lower Carboniferous) from S-China |journal= Paläontologische Zeitschrift |volume= 79 |issue=3 |pages= 371–375 |doi=10.1007/BF02991929 |bibcode=2005PalZ...79..371H |s2cid=128582636 |url= https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/BF02991929.pdf}}</ref>
