Hyneria is a genus of large prehistoric predatory lobe-finned fish which lived in fresh water during the Famennian stage of the Devonian period.

[1][8] It had large sensory canals to aid in detection of possible prey, as the freshwater environment it inhabited likely was murky and had low visibility.

[9] The original fossils came from two localities in Pennsylvania, United States, one found between the villages of North Bend and Hyner and another near Emporium.

[3] The fossils were found in the Catskill Formation of the Red Hill Shale, dating to the upper Devonian.

[1] Hyneria is considered the largest and most common lobe-finned fish found in the Red Hill Shale.
