Caprelloidea is a superfamily of marine crustaceans in the order Amphipoda. It includes untypical forms of amphipods such as the skeleton shrimps (Caprellidae) and whale lice (Cyamidae). The group was formerly treated as one of the four amphipod suborders Caprellidea but has been moved down to the superfamily rank by Myers & Lowry (2003 2013) after phylogenetic studies of the group and is now contained in the infraorder Corophiida of the suborder Senticaudata.
