Bourbonnella is an extinct genus of prehistoric freshwater and coastal marine ray-finned fish that lived during the late Mississippian (Carboniferous) and Asselian (Cisuralian/early Permian epoch) in what is now Burgundy (Autun, France), the Czech Republik (Boskovice Graben), and Utah (United States), with other remains known from elsewhere.{{cite journal |last1=Romano |first1=Carlo |last2=Koot |first2=Martha B. |last3=Kogan |first3=Ilja |last4=Brayard |first4=Arnaud |last5=Minikh |first5=Alla V. |last6=Brinkmann |first6=Winand |last7=Bucher |first7=Hugo |last8=Kriwet |first8=Jürgen |title=Permian-Triassic Osteichthyes (bony fishes): diversity dynamics and body size evolution |journal=Biological Reviews |date=2016 |volume=91 |issue=1 |pages=106–147 |doi=10.1111/brv.12161 |pmid=25431138 |s2cid=5332637 }} The genus was named by Daniel Heyler in 1967.

Indeterminate remains are known from the Carboniferous of the US (New Mexico) and Spain. Specimens from Germany were found in 2001 to belong to Aeduella.{{Cite journal |last=Poplin |first=Cécile |date=2001 |title=Le genre Bourbonnella (Actinopterygii, Aeduellidae) : révision et description d'une nouvelle espèce du Stéphanien (Carbonifère supérieur) de Montceau-les-Mines (Massif Central, France) |url=https://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/link_gateway/2001AnPal..87..231P/doi:10.1016/S0753-3969(01)80012-4 |journal=Annales de Paléontologie |volume=87 |issue=4 |pages=231–248 |doi=10.1016/s0753-3969(01)80012-4 |issn=0753-3969}}
