Horaclupea is an extinct genus of freshwater and estuarine ray-finned fish that inhabited the Indian subcontinent during the early Eocene.

It was named after Indian ichthyologist Sunder Lal Hora, who described the first species of the genus.

[2] H. intertrappea was described in the new genus Horaclupea from several articulated specimens from freshwater sediments in the Intertrappean Beds of India.

[3] However, more recent studies using palynostratigrapy have confirmed that the Bamanbore deposits are Early Eocene in age.

It was initially suggested that H. geei may represent the young stage of a hilsa-like clupeid, but the lack of any adult specimens in the Kohat assemblage, as well as the presence of similar individuals in the Intertrappean Beds, indicates that it may just represent a small-sized clupeid species.
