Aidachar (named for Aydahar, a mythical Kazakh dragon) is an extinct genus of marine ichthyodectiform ray-finned fish from the Late Cretaceous (Cenomanian-Turonian)[1] of Central Asia and North Africa.

The type species is A. paludalis, named by Lev Nesov in 1981 from remains discovered in the Kyzyl Kum desert of Uzbekistan.

[2] At first, he tentatively described the fossil material as the jaw fragments of a ctenochasmatid pterosaur (a flying reptile), but reinterpreted Aidachar as a fish in 1986.
