Aphnelepis is an extinct genus of prehistoric freshwater ray-finned fish that lived during the Late Jurassic epoch.

[1][2][3] It contains a single species, A. australis, from the Talbragar River beds of New South Wales, Australia.

[4][5] Initially described as a "semionotiform", it is now generally recovered as a basal teleostean related to the sympatric Archaeomaene.

[2][4][6] However, Aphnelepidae is considered synonymous with Archaeomaenidae by other authorities.
