Xanthocalanus is a genus of planktonic copepods, usually found in pelagic or benthopelagic waters. The genus was first described in 1893 by Wilhelm Giesbrecht, with the type species being Xanthocalanus agilis Giesbrecht, 1893.
In 1973, Janet Bradford reaffirmed that Amallophora was a junior synonym of Xanthocalanus, and revised its description.
