Gardinerichthys is an extinct genus of freshwater actinopterygian bony fish from the Cisuralian (early Permian) epoch of Germany (Rhineland-Palatine, Saarland), and the middle Permian of India (Jammu and Kashmir). [1] The type species, G. latus, was discovered in Asselian aged layers (Rotliegend). [1]

The genus is named after British palaeontologist and zoologist Brian G. Gardiner (1932–2021), with the second part of the name meaning 'fish' in Greek : ἰχθῦς (ikhthûs).

Gardinerpiscis is an extinct genus of prehistoric actinopterygian fish that lived during the Kungurian age of the early Permian epoch in what is now Kazakhstan. It was originally named "Gardineria" by Kazantseva-Selezneva (1981).

The genus includes a single species (monotypy): Gardinerpiscis akkolkensis.
