Chrotichthys is an extinct genus of prehistoric freshwater ray-finned fish that lived in the Anisian stage of the Middle Triassic epoch. [2] [3] It contains a single species, C. gregarius, known from the Terrigal Formation of New South Wales, Australia. [1]

Initially considered the earliest known representative of the "pholidophorid" fishes (as Pholidophorus gregarius), it is now generally considered a perleidiform. [4] [5] [6]
