Daedalichthys is an extinct genus of prehistoric freshwater ray-finned fish that lived during the Early Triassic epoch.^[1][2] It contains a single species, D. formosa (=D. higginsi Warren, 1936) from the Olenekian-aged Cynognathus Assemblage Zone of South Africa. It was previously classified in Dictyopyge.^[3][4][5]

It was a member of the redfieldiiforms, a group of presumed basal neopterygians that were widespread during the Triassic.^[6]
