Mesonychoteuthis hamiltoni (Graece mesos 'medius' + nychus 'chela' + teuthis), aliquando teuthis antarctica et teuthis gigantea cranch appellata, putatur maxima teuthium species per massam digesta. Ea est sola generis Mesonychoteuthis species nota. Descripta est per pauca specimina, sed eius maxima magnitudo hodie aestimatur 12–14 metra (39–46 pedes) longa,[1] secundum investigationes minorum et immaturorum speciminum; ergo haec species est maximum orbis terrarum invertebratum notum.
