Chirocentrites is an extinct genus of marine ray-finned fish in the order Ichthyodectiformes.
It contains a single species, C. coroninii, from the Late Cretaceous (Cenomanian) of Slovenia (locality also sometimes given as Gorizia, Italy).
[3][4] Another species sometimes classified in this genus, Spathodactylus (or Chirocentrites) neocomiensis Pictet, 1858 from the Hauterivian of France, appears to be morphologically distinct from Chirocentrites and needs taxonomic revision.
The species "C." guinensis from the Aptian/Albian of Equatorial Guinea & Gabon likely belongs to another genus, possibly Cladocyclus.
