Methanococcoides is a genus of archaeans in the family Methanosarcinaceae.
Methanococcoides species are methanogens entirely dependent on methylated compounds for nutrition. The type species of Methanococcoides is Methanococcoides methylutens.{{cite journal|author1= Yue Guan|author2=David K. Ngugi|author3=Jochen Blom|author4=Shahjahan Ali|author5=James G.
