Balticeras is an involute, discoidal Upper Jurassic (Oxfordian) ammonite[2] (order Ammonitida) found in England, Germany, and Switzerland, belonging to the Perisphinctidae. The shell is strongly embracing, tending to be oxyconic (sharp rimmed). Sides are gently curved, converging on a narrow to sharp ventral rim.

Balticeras is considered by some to be a subgenus of Ringsteadia which in contrast is more evolute, with ribbed inner whorls. Both are included in the Pictoniinae, a subfamily established by Spath, 1924, for large ammonites within the Perisphinctidae, tending to develop smooth middle and outer whorls.
