Callipteryx is an extinct genus of prehistoric marine trachiniform fish that lived during the early Eocene. It is the only known member of the extinct family Callipterygidae.[1][2][3][4] It is thought to have been a relative of weeverfishes.[5]

It contains two species, both from the famous Monte Bolca site of Italy:[2][3]
