Ocenebrinae is a taxonomic subfamily of predatory sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks. This subfamily is within the large family Muricidae, which are commonly known as the murex and rock snails.
In one other version of current gastropod taxonomy, three of these genera are grouped by themselves in a small subfamily called Haustrinae.
