'''''Bramoides''''' is an extinct genus of marine ray-finned fish that lived during the lower Eocene. It contains a single species, '''''B. brieni''''', known from the London Clay.<ref name="sepkoskidb"/>
It is generally considered an early pomfret, hence the name ''Bramoides'' (meaning "similar to ''Brama''"). However, this placement has been doubted by other authors, although alternate placements have not been suggested.<ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Friedman |first1=Matt |last2=Beckett |first2=Hermione T. |last3=Close |first3=Roger A. |last4=Johanson |first4=Zerina |date=2016 |title=The English Chalk and London Clay: two remarkable British bony fish Lagerstätten |url=https://www.lyellcollection.org/doi/10.1144/SP430.18 |journal=Geological Society, London, Special Publications |language=en |volume=430 |issue=1 |pages=165–200 |doi=10.1144/SP430.18 |bibcode=2016GSLSP.430..165F |issn=0305-8719|url-access=subscription }}</ref>
