Bicosoeca is a genus of bicosoecids in the family Bicosoecaceae.

It is the type genus of its family. The name Bicosoeca, described by James-Clark in 1866, is derived from Greek roots (bikos, vase, bowl, plus oekein, inhabit). The philologically preferable compound would be Bicoeca, as "corrected" by Stein in 1878 and followed by most subsequent authors. However, according to the ICBN and ICZN, the original spelling of the name cannot be considered incorrect and it must be used in its original form.
