Gardinerpiscis is an extinct genus of prehistoric actinopterygian fish that lived during the Kungurian age of the early Permian epoch in what is now Kazakhstan. It was originally named "Gardineria" by Kazantseva-Selezneva (1981).{{cite journal |last=Kazantseva-Selezneva |first=Al'vina Aleksandrovna |year=1981 |title=Late Paleozoic Palaeonisci of eastern Kazakhstan |journal=Trudy Paleontologicheskogo Instituta Akademii Nauk SSSR |volume=180 |pages=1–140}} Because this genus name was already given to an extant scleractinian coral (Gardineria Vaughan, 1907),{{cite journal |last=Vaughan |first=Thomas Wayland |year=1907 |title=Recent Madreporaria of the Hawaiian Islands and Laysan |journal=Bulletin of the United States National Museum |issue=59 |pages=1–427 |doi=10.5479/si.03629236.59.i|url=https://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/part/9825 }} the new name Gardinerpiscis was erected for the Permian fish.{{cite journal |last1=Romano |first1=Carlo |last2=Kogan |first2=Ilja |year=2015 |title=Gardinerpiscis nom. nov., a replacement name for the preoccupied genus name Gardineria Kazantseva-Selezneva, 1981 (Actinopterygii, Osteichthyes) |journal=Paleontological Journal |volume=49 |issue=6 |pages=677–678 |doi=10.1134/S0031030115060118|s2cid=86206512 |url=https://www.zora.uzh.ch/id/eprint/115318/22/ZORA_NL_115318.pdf }} The genus includes a single species (monotypy): Gardinerpiscis akkolkensis.

Gardinerpiscis is named after British palaeontologist and zoologist Brian G. Gardiner (1932 - 2021). The word part piscis is Latin for fish.
