'''''Profundiconus''''' is a genus of sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Conidae, the cone snails and their allies.<ref name="WoRMS">Bouchet, P. (2011).

As the name of the genus suggests, these species live in deep water. It is presumed that they are vermivorous.<ref>[https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Manuel_Jimenez-Tenorio/publication/257272448_Cone_radular_anatomy_as_a_proxy_for_phylogeny_and_for_conotoxin_diversity/links/0c960524c122926ede000000.pdf M Jiménez-Tenorio (2011), ''Cone radular anatomy as a proxy for phylogeny and for conotoxin diversity''; researchgate.net]</ref>
This genus is the type genus of the subfamily Profundiconinae <small>Limpalaër & Monnier, 2018</small>. This is an alternate representation for the family Conidae.
