Ichthyokentema ("fish-goad") is an extinct genus of stem-teleost fish that lived during the Late Jurassic. It contains one species, I. purbeckensis, which is known from the Purbeck Group of Dorset, England.[1][2] I. purbeckensis was originally described as a species of Pholidophorus by William Davies in 1887,[3] but was moved to its own genus by Arthur Smith Woodward in 1941.[1]
