Sepiola pfefferi is a species of bobtail squid native to the northeastern Atlantic Ocean. Specifically, it occurs on the continental shelf off the Faroe Islands and from southern Norway to Brittany in France. The depth range of this species is unknown.Reid, A. & P. Jereb 2005. Family Sepiolidae. In: P. Jereb & C.F.E. Roper, eds. Cephalopods of the world. An annotated and illustrated catalogue of species known to date. Volume 1. Chambered nautiluses and sepioids (Nautilidae, Sepiidae, Sepiolidae, Sepiadariidae, Idiosepiidae and Spirulidae). FAO Species Catalogue for Fishery Purposes. No. 4, Vol. 1. Rome, FAO. pp. 153–203.

Female S. pfefferi are on average slightly larger than males. They grow to 13 mm and 12 mm in mantle length, respectively.

The type specimen was collected in the North Sea ({{coord|53|53|N|00|32|E|scale:250000}}) and is deposited in the Zoology Collection of the Natural History Museum, Berlin.[http://www.mnh.si.edu/cephs/newclass.pdf Current Classification of Recent Cephalopoda]

The validity of S. pfefferi has been questioned.
