'''Onychodontiformes''' (also known as '''Onychodontida''' and '''Struniiformes''') is an order of prehistoric sarcopterygian fish that lived during the Devonian period. The onychodontiforms are generally regarded as early-diverging members of the coelacanth lineage.<ref name="Lu2016" /><ref name="Mondéjar-Fernández2020" />

==Phylogeny== The following cladogram is adapted from Mondéjar-Fernández (2020). The study recovered Onychodontiformes as a paraphyletic group, which is shown in green:<ref name="Mondéjar-Fernández2020" />
