Allothrissops is an extinct genus of marine ray-finned fish in the order Ichthyodectiformes, or bulldog fish.{{Cite web |title=PBDB |url=https://paleobiodb.org/classic/basicTaxonInfo?taxon_no=35234 |access-date=2024-02-16 |website=paleobiodb.org}} It is known from the Late Jurassic of Germany, where it has been found in the famous Solnhofen Limestone.{{Cite journal |last1=Ebert |first1=Martin |last2=Kölbl-Ebert |first2=Martina |last3=Lane |first3=Jennifer A. |date=2015-01-28 |title=Fauna and Predator-Prey Relationships of Ettling, an Actinopterygian Fish-Dominated Konservat-Lagerstätte from the Late Jurassic of Southern Germany |journal=PLOS ONE |language=en |volume=10 |issue=1 |pages=e0116140 |doi=10.1371/journal.pone.0116140 |doi-access=free |issn=1932-6203 |pmc=4309457 |pmid=25629970|bibcode=2015PLoSO..1016140E }}{{Cite journal |last1=Cavin |first1=Lionel |last2=Forey |first2=Peter L. |last3=Giersch |first3=Samuel |date=2013 |title=Osteology of Eubiodectes libanicus (Pictet & Humbert, ) and some other ichthyodectiformes (Teleostei): phylogenetic implications |url=https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/14772019.2012.691559 |journal=Journal of Systematic Palaeontology |language=en |volume=11 |issue=2 |pages=115–177 |doi=10.1080/14772019.2012.691559 |bibcode=2013JSPal..11..115C |s2cid=83807640 |issn=1477-2019|url-access=subscription }}

The following species are known:

• A. mesogaster (Agassiz, 1834)
• A. salmoneus (de Blainville, 1818)
• A. regleyi (Thiollière, 1854)

Formerly placed with several other genera in the family Allothrissopidae, more recent studies have found this placement to be paraphyletic, and it is now placed as a basal ichthyodectiform.
