Eugnathides is an extinct genus of prehistoric marine ray-finned fish that lived during the Late Jurassic epoch. It contains a single species, E. browni from the Oxfordian-aged Jagua Formation of Cuba.[1][2][3]

It is thought to most likely be a pachycormiform, although it is in need of taxonomic revision.[2]
