Khankaspis is a poorly preserved arthropod genus that contains one species, K. bazhanovi, recovered from the Snegurovka Formation of Siberia, Russia. Some authors have placed Khankaspis within the order Strabopida, but poorly preserved material precludes detailed comparisons with other Cambrian arthropods.
