Doridoxa is a genus of nudibranchs, shell-less marine gastropod molluscs or sea slugs. It is the only member of the family Doridoxidae in the superfamily Doridoxoidea.[2][5]
A 2020 molecular study recovered Doridoxa grouping with the genera Doridomorpha and Heterodoris, with this group closely related to the family Arminidae.[2]
