Gnathostomulids, or jaw worms, are a small phylum of nearly microscopic marine animals. They inhabit sand and mud beneath shallow coastal waters and can survive in anoxic environments, they were first recognised and described in 1956. Most gnathostomulids measure 0.5 to 1 millimetre in length. They are slender to thread-like worms, with a transparent body. In many Bursovaginoidea, one of the major group of gnathostomulids, the neck region is narrower than the rest of the body, giving them a distinct head. Like flatworms they have a ciliated epidermis, but in contrast to flatworms, they have one cilium per cell; the cilia allow the worms to glide along in the water between sand grains, although they use muscles, allowing the body to twist or contract, for movement. They have no body cavity, no circulatory or respiratory system; the nervous system is simple, restricted to the outer layers of the body wall. The only sense organs are modified cilia, which are common in the head region; the mouth is located just after a rostrum, on the underside of the body.

It has a pair of cuticular jaws, supplied by strong muscles, bearing minute teeth. A "basal plate" on the lower surface that bears a comb-like structure is present; the basal plate is used to scrape smaller organisms off of the grains of sand that make up their anoxic seabed mud habitat. This bilaterally symmetrical pharynx with its complex cuticular mouth parts make them appear related to rotifers and their allies, together making up the Gnathifera; the ultrastructure of the jaws made of rods with electron dense core in transmission electron microscopy sections support their close relation with Rotifera and Micrognathozoa. The mouth opens into a blind-ending tube. However, there is tissue connecting the intestine to the epidermis. Gnathostomulids are simultaneous hermaphrodites; each individual possesses one or two testes. After fertilization, the single egg ruptures through the body wall and adheres to nearby sand particles; the egg hatches without a larval stage. There are 100 described species and many more as yet undescribed.

The known species are grouped in two orders. The filospermoids are long and are characterized by an elongate rostrum; the bursovaginoids have paired sensory organs and are characterized by the presence of a penis and a sperm-storage organ called a bursa. Gnathostomulids have no known fossil record, though there are similarities between the jaws of modern gnathostomulids and certain conodont elements, they appear to be a sister clade to the Syndermata.
