Camuropiscis is an extinct genus of arthrodire placoderm from the late Devonian of the Gogo Formation of Western Australia. The species of Camuropiscis had a flattened, elongated snout that may have aided in enhancing its hydrodynamic streamlining.

Etymology

Camuropiscis translates as "flat-nosed fish."
