''Cipactlichthys'' is a genus of extinct Holostean fish from the Lower Cretaceous of Mexico. The only known species is ''Cipactlichthys scutatus''. ==Discovery and etymology== ''Cipactlichthys scutatus'' is known from two fossils discovered in the Tlayua Formation near the town of Tepexi de Rodríguez, in Puebla, Mexico. The Tlayua Formation, is Albian (Early Cretaceous) in age, interpreted as an epicontinental marine deposit. Due to its high quality preservation and abundance of fish fossils, the formation is considered one of the most important sources of Cretaceous fishes in Mexico.〔 The genus name is a combination of ''Cipactli'', the Aztec mythological sea monster said to be part fish and part reptile, and ''ichthys'', Greek for "fish".〔 The specific epithet ''scutatus'' is Latin for shield, referring to the large dorsal and ventral scutes.〔
