Sepia angulata is a species of cuttlefish native to the southeastern Atlantic Ocean, from Bloubergstrand (33°48′S 18°27′E) to Still Bay (34°23′S 21°25′E). It is known only from cuttlebones.[3] The validity of S. angulata has been questioned.[4]

Cuttlebones of this species are up to 75 mm in length.[3]

The type specimen was collected near Bloubergstrand, South Africa (33°48′S 18°27′E) and is deposited at the South African Museum.[4]
