Turbinellinae were a subfamily of large deepwater sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Turbinellidae.

This subfamily belonged to the family Turbinellidae within the clade Neogastropoda (according to the taxonomy of the Gastropoda by Bouchet & Rocroi, 2005). But in 2025 has been upgraded to the rank of family.

This was a small subfamily with only three genera and some 10 extant species described.
