Prolobitidae is a family of extinct ammonoid cephalopods that lived during the Middle and Late Devonian period, approximately 387 to 359 million years ago. The family is currently classified within the goniatitid suborder Tornoceratina and superfamily Dimeroceratoidea, though it was previously placed in the ancestral Anarcestida. The family was established by German paleontologist Rudolf Wedekind in 1913.
