'''Neocomitidae''' is a family of Lower Cretaceous ammonitids comprising genera with strongly ribbed evolute (all whorls exposed) to smooth, fairly involute (inner whorls mostly hidden) shells.<ref>{{aut|Wright, C.

In the 1957 description of the family<ref name="Arkell1957">{{cite book| first1=W.J. |last1=Arkell |first2=B. |last2=Kummel |first3=C.W. |last3=Wright |series=Treatise on Invertebrate Paleontology, Part L, Mollusca 4| title=Mesozoic Ammonoidea | publisher=Geological Society of America and University of Kansas Press |location=Lawrence, Kansas|year=1957}}</ref> Neocomitidae was regarded as the subfamily Neocomitinae within the Berriasellidae, a family within the Perisphinctoidea that ranged from the Late Jurassic into the Early Cretaceous. In a more recent treatment <ref>[https://paleobiodb.org/classic/checkTaxonInfo?taxon_no=64671 the Paleobiology database Neocomitidae entry] accessed April 2013</ref> berriaselids are regarded as a subfamily within the Neocomitidae.
Current opinion differs from the 1967 placement of Neocomitidae in the Perisphinctoidea<ref name="Arkell1957"/> but rather includes it in the superfamily Endemoceratoidea.<ref>[http://www.jsdammonites.fr/625.html Taxonomy jsdammonites]</ref><ref>[http://crioceratites.free.fr/neocomitidae.htm Ammonites, taxa]</ref>
