Udora is an extinct genus of procarididean shrimp that lived in what is now present day England, France and northern Germany from the Callovian stage of the Middle Jurassic to the Tithonian age of the Late Jurassic. The genus is named after Uðr, one of the Nine Daughters of Ægir and Rán in Norse mythology.
