Hungkiichthys is an extinct genus of prehistoric ray-finned fish that lived in Asia during the Jurassic period. It contains a single species, H. anni from the Middle Jurassic of Xinjiang, China.[1] It is considered a "pholidophorid" under a sensu lato interpretation of the family, but its taxonomic affiliations remain uncertain.[2][3][4]
