Necroteuthis is an extinct genus of vampire squids from the Oligocene of Hungary. It contains one species, N. hungarica. It was initially identified as a squid, but was recently reinterpreted as a vampyroteuthid.
The genus name Necroteuthis comes from ýõúÃÂÃÂà(necrós), meaning "corpse", and ÃÂõàøïà(teuthÃÂs), meaning "squid". The specific name hungarica comes from Hungary, the country where the species was found.
