Deanaspis is a genus of asaphid trilobites in the family Trinucleidae in the Ordovician periods. It is reported only from Northern Europe and Iran.[1] It was named as a new genus in 1975.[2]
In 2025, a member of the Galeaspida was given the same genus name ("Deanaspis" longpingi),[3] with a replacement name yet to be chosen.
