Ceratophyllidia is a genus of sea slugs, dorid nudibranchs, shell-less marine gastropod molluscs in the family Phyllidiidae.Brunckhorst D. J. (1993) "The systematics and phylogeny of phyllidiid nudibranchs (Doridoidea)". Records of the Australian Museum suppl. 16: 1-108.

They are known for their unusually soft, spherical and stalked tubercules on their upper dorsa. Unlike the species of Phyllidia, they lack oral glands or the glands are free from the oral tube.
