Trimerocephalus is a genus of trilobites from the order Phacopida, family Phacopidae. This genus is from the late Devonian and can be found in Morocco, Poland, Germany and occasionally in other European countries. These trilobites look similar to Ductina, but differ in that it is possible to distinguish where the eyes used to be on the cephalon, unlike in Ductina, where there is no apparent sign that the genus had eyes.
