As a result of a wide project guided to characterize the fauna and flora of the Ría de Ferrol (Galicia, NW Spain), we present in this work 12 species of polychaetous annelids from the intertidal area and sublitoral infaunal benthos of this ría. Phyllodoce longipes Kinberg, 1866 and Octobranchus lingulatus (Grube, 1866) are recorded for the first time in the littoral of the Iberian Peninsula. Harmothoe nigra Alaejos, 1905 tor the first time after its original description and Vermiliopsis striaceps (Grube, 1862) for the first time in the atlantic coasts of Spain. The juvenile stages of Marphysa belli (Audouin & Milne-Edwards, 1833) and M. sanguinea (Montagu, 1815) often attributed to other eunicid species, are described. Finally, for six species with a scarce knowledge in our waters, we make some precisions about their morphology and ecology: Phyllodoce groenlandica Oersted, 1843, Paranaitis kosteriensis (Malmgren, 1867), Harmothoe antilopes McIntosh, 1876, H. ljungmani (Malmgren, 1867), H. longisetis (Grube, 1863) and Gyptis capensis (Day, 1963).
