Cyclobatis is an extinct genus of stingray-like skate from the Upper Cretaceous of what is now Lebanon.{{cite thesis |last=Claeson |first=Kerin Michele |date=May 2010 |title=Trends in evolutionary morphology: a case study in the relationships of angel sharks and batoid fishes |degree=PhD |publisher=The University of Texas at Austin |hdl=2152/ETD-UT-2010-05-1347}}{{cite journal|doi=10.1144/GSL.JGS.1845.001.01.60|title=Description of a Fossil Ray from Mount Lebanon (Cyclobatis oligodactylus) |year=1845 |last1=Egerton |first1=Philip Grey |journal=Quarterly Journal of the Geological Society |volume=1 |issue=1 |pages=225–229 |s2cid=128842555 |url=https://zenodo.org/record/2255207 }} The genus is typified by a circular form. The ray measures about 10 cm or 20 cm. In life the environment of this creature was a warm shallow sea. This fish had a very short tail, fitted with a venomous stinger.

Two species are known. The shown, long-tailed Cyclobatis major and the short-tail Cyclobatis oligodactylus. Cyclobatis major can reach a length of about 25 cm, Cyclobatis oligodactylus around 15 cm
