Acanthoteuthis speciosus is an extinct species of coleoid cephalopod known from Late Jurassic fossils, especially material associated with the Solnhofen Limestone of Germany.

Such fossils are important because the Solnhofen deposits can preserve soft-bodied animals and delicate anatomical features that are rarely found elsewhere.
