***Dapaloides*** is an extinct genus of prehistoric estuarine [ray-finned fish](/source/Actinopterygii) that lived during the early [Oligocene](/source/Oligocene) to the early [Miocene](/source/Miocene) epoch.[1] Many of the remains now assigned to this genus were previously assigned to *[Dapalis](/source/Dapalis)*.[2][3] It was previously classified as a "[percichthyid](/source/Temperate_perch)" under a former treatment of the family, but is now treated as an indeterminate [perciform](/source/Perciformes).[2][4]

It contains two species known from Europe:

- ***D. sieblosensis*** ([Winkler](/source/Tiberius_Cornelis_Winkler), 1880) - [Rupelian](/source/Rupelian) to [Early Miocene](/source/Early_Miocene) of Germany (=*[Smerdis](/source/Dapalis) sieblosensis* Winkler, 1880, *S. sandbergeri* Winkler, 1880, *S. rhoenensis* Winkler, 1880, *[Perca](/source/Perch) macrantha* Winkler, 1880) [body fossils and [otoliths](/source/Otolith)][2][3][4]
- ***D. miloni*** Gaudant, 1989 - Rupelian of [Brittany](/source/Brittany), France [body fossils and otoliths][2]
