Bobbichthys is an extinct genus of marine ray-finned fish that lived in what is now Chile during the Oxfordian stage of the Late Jurassic epoch. ^{[1] [2] [3]} It was a member of the Varasichthyidae, a family of potentially crossognathiform fish. ^{[4] [5] [6]}

It was named after paleoichthyologist Bobb Schaefer (1913-2004). ^[2]
