See text Osteolepiformes, also known as Osteolepidida, is a group of prehistoric lobe-finned fishes which first appeared during the Devonian period.

The order is generally considered to be paraphyletic because the characters that define it are mainly attributes of stem tetrapodomorphs.

[1] The following taxonomy is based on Borgen & Nakrem, 2016:[2] Below is a cladogram showing the paraphyly of Osteolepiformes compiled and modified from Ahlberg and Johanson (1998).
