Chrotichthys is an extinct genus of prehistoric freshwater ray-finned fish that lived in the Anisian stage of the Middle Triassic epoch.[2][3] It contains a single species, C. gregarius, known from the Terrigal Formation of New South Wales, Australia.[1]

Initially considered the earliest known representative of the "pholidophorid" fishes (as Pholidophorus gregarius), it is now generally considered a perleidiform.[4][5][6]
