Galeodinopsis is a genus of small marine gastropod molluscs or micromolluscs in the family Rissoidae.

This genus has a fossil record in the Euro-Mediterranean area, but it now lives in the Eastern Atlantic. It lives in fully marine shelf environments.

The shell is mostly conical and is white to white-yellow in color.

Some species in this genus use planktotrophic larval development.
