Essexella is an extinct genus of cnidarian known from Late Carboniferous fossils. It contains a single species, E. asherae.

It is one of the most recurrent organisms in the Mazon Creek fossil beds of Illinois. In the Essex biota of Mazon Creek, it consists of 42 percent of all fossil finds.

Paleontologists originally described Essexella as a jellyfish. However, researchers recently redescribed the genus as a sea anemone.

Another alleged jellyfish, Reticulomedusa, likey represents Essexella preserved from different angles. Essexella may have produced the common trace fossil Conostichus.
