'''Urocoptoidea''' is a superfamily of land snails, gastropods in the suborder Helicina.<ref name="WoRMS">MolluscaBase eds. (2020). MolluscaBase. Urocoptoidea Pilsbry, 1898 (1868).

== Families == In 2005, according to the taxonomy of the Gastropoda by Bouchet & Rocroi, the families Urocoptidae and Cerionidae were classified within the superfamily Orthalicoidea.<ref name="Bouchet 2005">{{Bouchet 2005}}</ref>

In 2008, the superfamily Urocoptoidea was established by the malacologist Uit de Weerd, based on molecular phylogeny research.<ref name="Uit de Weerd 2008">Uit de Weerd D. R. (2008).
