Here we use natural abundances of carbon and nitrogen stable isotopes of some abundant nematode species/genera from estuarine intertidal sediments to assess their trophic level and major food sources. In all stations, d<sup>15</sup>N of different dominant nematode species/genera spanned a range of 3.6 to 6.3 ppt, indicating that at least two trophic levels were represented. The large nematodes <em>Enoplus brevis</em>, <em>Enoploides longispiculosus</em> and <em>Adoncholaimus fuscus</em> consistently had high d<sup>15</sup>N, in line with mouth-morphology based predictions and empirical evidence on their predacious feeding modes. <em>Daptonema</em> sp., <em>Metachromadora remanei</em>, <em>Praeacanthonchus punctatus</em> and ‘Chromadoridae’ (dominated by <em>Ptycholaimellus ponticus</em>) had comparatively lower d<sup>15</sup>N, and d<sup>13</sup>C suggesting that microphytobenthos (MPB) is their major carbon source, although freshly sedimented particulate organic matter may also contribute to their nutrition in silty sediments. The trophic position of <em>Sphaerolaimus</em> sp., a genus with documented predacious feeding mode, was ambiguous. <em>Ascolaimus elongatus</em> had d<sup>15</sup>N signatures indicating a predacious ecology, which is at variance with expectations from existing feeding type classifications. Our study shows that—despite limitations imposed by the biomass requirements for EA-IRMS (elemental analyser—isotope ratio mass spectrometry) natural isotope abundances of carbon and nitrogen are powerful tools to unravel trophic structure within nematode communities. At the same time, the prominence of different trophic levels results in a large span of d<sup>15</sup>N, largely invalidating the use of nitrogen isotope abundances to assess food sources and trophic level of whole nematode communities.
