Ramskoeldia is a genus of amplectobeluid radiodont described in 2018. It was the second genus of radiodont found to possess gnathobase-like structures (abbreviated as GLS) and an atypical oral cone after Amplectobelua. The type species, Ramskoeldia platyacantha, was discovered in the Chengjiang biota of China, the home of numerous radiodonts such as Amplectobelua and Lyrarapax.
