Allothrissops is an extinct genus of marine ray-finned fish in the order Ichthyodectiformes, or bulldog fish.^[1] It is known from the Late Jurassic of Germany, where it has been found in the famous Solnhofen Limestone.^[2]^[3]

The following species are known:^[1]

A. mesogaster(Agassiz, 1834)
A. salmoneus(de Blainville, 1818)
A. regleyi(Thiollière, 1854)

Formerly placed with several other genera in the family Allothrissopidae, more recent studies have found this placement to be paraphyletic, and it is now placed as a basal ichthyodectiform.^[1]^[3]
