Brouweria is an extinct genus of prehistoric marine ray-finned fish related to the modern tarpon.

[1] De Beaufort defines the genus by the following; the parietals are known to contact, which separates the supraoccipital from the frontals.

Few vertebrae are known, constricting nearer to the middle with a canal to fit the spinal cord.

However, B. striata was tentatively placed into the genus despite scarce evidence for this, as expressed in the original description.

is tentatively assigned the genus because "it is easier to refer a fossil, which bears a name."
