Daitingichthys ("Daiting fish") is an extinct genus of prehistoric marine ray-finned fish that lived during the Late Jurassic period. It contains a single species, D. tischlingeri from the early Tithonian-aged Mörnsheim Formation of the Solnhofen Limestone, Germany. It is thought to be a stem-elopiform, related to modern ladyfish and tarpons.
