Perisphinctes is an extinct genus of ammonite cephalopod. They lived during the Jurassic Period and serve as an index fossil for that time period.

 The Perisphinctes boweni ammonite was named after the English chemist and geologist E. J. Bowen (1898–1980).

 It is thought that Perisphinctes lived in shallow water, in the inner part of the continental shelf and shelf seas interior, like all forms of the same family ( Perisphinctidae ). This ammonite was a form cosmopolitan, widespread in warm-temperate waters worldwide.
