Acanthodoris is a genus of sea slugs, dorid nudibranchs, shell-less marine gastropod mollusks in the family Acanthodorididae.[1]

The genus is believed to have originated in the Atlantic Ocean in the Cretaceous period and spread to the Pacific Ocean.[2]

The relationships of Acanthodoris to the other genera in the superfamily Onchidoridoidea were evaluated by molecular phylogeny in 2015.[3] and in 2024.[4]
