Conorbiinae was a subfamily of small to quite large sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Conidae.Bouchet P. & Rocroi J.-P. (Ed.) (2005). "Classification and nomenclator of gastropod families". Malacologia 47(1-2). {{ISBN|3-925919-72-4}}. 397 pp.

This subfamily has also been written by several authors as "Conorbinae". (N. Puillandre et al., Starting to unravel the toxoglossan knot: Molecular phylogeny of the “turrids” (Neogastropoda: Conoidea), Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution, Volume 47, Issue 3, June 2008, Pages 1122-1134 and was a long time considered a subfamily of the Turridae.

Bouchet, Kantor et al. elevated in 2011 the subfamily Conorbiinae to the rank of family Conorbidae. This was based on anatomical characters (radular tooth and shell characters) and a dataset of molecular sequences of three gene fragments[https://archive.today/20120710161524/http://mollus.oxfordjournals.org/content/77/3/273.full Bouchet P., Kantor Yu.I., Sysoev A. & Puillandre N.
