Barcarenichthys is an extinct genus of prehistoric marine ray-finned fish that lived during the Late Cretaceous.[1][2][3] It contains a single species, B. joneti, from the late Cenomanian of Portugal.[4]

Initially classified in the Salmoniformes, it is now considered an indeterminate basal euteleostean.[4][5][6]
