Coreospiridae is an extinct family of Paleozoic molluscs of uncertain position taxonomically. They might be snails (Gastropoda), Helcionelloida, or they might be Monoplacophora.
The taxonomy of the Gastropoda by Bouchet & Rocroi, 2005 categorizes Coreospiridae in the superfamily Scenelloidea within the Paleozoic molluscs of uncertain systematic position.
According to P. Yu. Parkhaev, the family Coreospiridae is in the family Helcionelloidea (Wenz, 1938) in the order Helcionelliformes (Golikov & Starobogatov, 1975) within the subclass Archaeobranchia (Parkhaev, 2001) in the class Helcionelloida (Peel, 1991).
