Oreochima ellioti is an archaeomaenid pachycormiform fish from Lower Jurassic-aged freshwater strata of Antarctica. Fossils come from the Lower Jurassic of Storm Peak, Antarctica, where a freshwater lake system once existed. O. ellioti is also notable for being one of three archaeomaenid genera found outside of Australia.
