'''''Zychaspis''''' is an extinct genus of Devonian jawless fishes. The genus name, ''Zychaspis'', was named as a tribute to palaeontologist [Władysław Zych](/source/W%C5%82adys%C5%82aw_Zych) (1899 – 1981).

==Species==
Two species of this genus, ''Z. bucovinensis'' and ''Z. elegans'' are known from the [Devonian](/source/Devonian)-aged rocks of Ukraine. ''Z. bucovinensis'' is found only at Babin (Bobince), Podoli [Babin Sandstone](/source/Babin_Sandstone). ''Z. elegans'' (which was once known as ''[Cephalaspis](/source/Cephalaspis) elegans'' (Balabai, 1962)) is found in rocks on the [Podolian](/source/Podolian) plateau.<ref>On the cephalaspid fauna of the Podolian plateau.
