Conus sculletti, common name Scullett's cone, is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Conidae, the cone snails and their allies.
Like all species within the genus Conus, these snails are predatory and venomous. They are capable of stinging humans; therefore, live ones should be handled carefully or not at all.
Description The shell's shape is elongated with concave sides, a sharply angled shoulder, and a flat to low spire. The size of the shell varies between 30 mm and 50 mm. The shells consist of a white background with orange-brown patches, typically arranged in distinct bands.
Distribution This marine species is endemic to Australia and occurs off New South Wales and Queensland.
