Heterostrophus is an extinct genus of marine ray-finned fish belonging to the family Dapediidae.[3] It is known from the Jurassic of Europe, where it lived from the Middle to Late Jurassic epochs.[1] It was one of the last known members of its long-surviving family.

The following species are known:[1]

Indeterminate remains are also known from the earlier Callovian-aged Kellaways Formation of England.[5]

It is likely the sister genus to Dapedium, from which it differs in scale morphology.[6]
