Dalmatichthys is an extinct genus of marine beardfish from the Late Cretaceous. It contains a single species, D. malezi (named for Mirko Malez) from Croatia. It is the only member of the family Dalmatichthyidae, which is sometimes considered synonymous with Polymixiidae. Its exact relationship to modern beardfish in Polymixia likely needs further research.
