Mimipiscis is a fossil genus of very primitive ray-finned fishes from the Upper Devonian Gneudna and Gogo Formations of Western Australia.
The genus was initially described by Gardiner & Bartram as Mimia in 1977, a junior homonym of the skipper butterfly genus Mimia which was already established by Evans in 1953.
