Lamiopsis is a genus of shark in the family Carcharhinidae found in Indian and Pacific Ocean. This genus was previously considered to be monotypic. However, a recent taxonomic study revealed that the western central Pacific populations were a separate species.

  • Lamiopsis temminckii (J. P. Müller & Henle, 1839) (Broad-fin shark)
