Conus coelinae, common name Celine's cone, is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Conidae, the cone snails and their allies.

Like all species within the genus Conus, these snails are predatory and venomous. They are capable of stinging humans,{{citation needed|date=April 2015}} therefore live ones should be handled carefully or not at all.

The former subspecies Conus coelinae spiceri Bartsch & Rehder, 1943 has been elevated to the status of genus Conus spiceri Bartsch & Rehder, 1943

Description

The size of the shell varies between 55 mm and 128 mm.
