Deanaspis is a genus of asaphid trilobites in the family Trinucleidae in the Ordovician periods. It is reported only from Northern Europe and Iran. [1] It was named as a new genus in 1975. [2]

In 2025, a member of the Galeaspida was given the same genus name ("Deanaspis" longpingi), [3] with a replacement name yet to be chosen.
