Helichthys is an extinct genus of prehistoric bony fish that lived during the Early Triassic epoch in what is now South Africa.[1][3]

Although several species of Helichthys have been erected (H. elegans, H. stegopyge, H. obesus, H. ctenipteryx, H. grandipennis), they were later all synonymized with the type species, H. browni.[2] Fossils were recovered from the Lower Cynognathus Assemblage Zone of Bekker's Kraal.
