Scientific classification
Kingdom:	Animalia
Phylum:	Mollusca
Class:	Cephalopoda
Subclass:	†Ammonoidea
Order:	†Ammonitida
Superfamily:	†Perisphinctoidea
Family:	†Neocomitidae

In the 1957 description of the family^[2] Neocomitidae was regarded as the subfamily Neocomitinae within the Berriasellidae, a family within the Perisphinctoidea that ranged from the Late Jurassic into the Early Cretaceous. In a more recent treatment ^[3] berriaselids are regarded as a subfamily within the Neocomitidae.

Current opinion differs from the 1967 placement of Neocomitidae in the Perisphinctoidea^[2] but rather includes it in the superfamily Endemoceratoidea.^[4][5]
