Porolepiformes is an order of prehistoric lobe-finned fish which lived during the Devonian period (about 416 to 359 million years ago).

They are thought to represent the sister group to lungfish (class Dipnoi).

Porolepiformes was established by the Swedish paleontologist Erik Jarvik, and were thought to have given rise to the salamanders and caecilians independently of the other tetrapods.

[3] Jarvik also claimed the existence of choanae in porolepiformes which linked them to tetrapods, but this has remained controversial.

[4] Recent phylogenetic reconstruction places porolepiformes close to lungfishes.
