Uchtites is a genus of ammonoid cephalopods included in the anarcestid family Acanthoclymeniidae that lived during the Devonian period. Its shell is lenticular, flat sided, with a tight umbilicus and sharp ventral keel bordered by weak nodules in adult specimens. The suture has a trifid ventral, rounded outer lateral, weak rounded inner lateral and wedge shaped dorsal lobe.

Acanthoclymenia, Gogocers, Nordiceras, and Ponticeras are related genera. The type species is Gephyroceras syrjanicum Holzapfel, 1899.
