''Conus geographus'', popularly called the geography cone or the geographer cone, is a species of predatory cone snail. It lives in reefs of the tropical Indo-Pacific, and hunts small fish. Although all cone snails hunt and kill prey using venom, the venom of this species is potent enough to kill humans. Specimens should be handled with extreme caution.

The variety ''Conus geographus'' var. ''rosea'' G. B. Sowerby I, 1833 is a synonym of ''Conus eldredi'' Morrison, 1955.
