Mioceratodus is an extinct genus of lungfish in the family Neoceratodontidae, which also contains the extant Queensland lungfish.Consequences of Traumatic injury in Fossil and Recent Dipnoan Dentitions. Kemp, A. Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology. vol, 21. issue 1. 2001. pg 13-23. It is known only from Oligocene and Miocene-aged sediments in Australia, although phylogenetic evidence supports it having first diverged from its closest relative, Neoceratodus, during the Late Jurassic or Early Cretaceous period.{{Cite web|title=Search Museums Victoria's collections|url=https://collections.museumsvictoria.com.au/search?query=mioceratodus|access-date=2020-10-21|website=Museums Victoria Collections}}{{Cite journal|last1=Kemp|first1=Anne|last2=Cavin|first2=Lionel|last3=Guinot|first3=Guillaume|date=2017-04-01|title=Evolutionary history of lungfishes with a new phylogeny of post-Devonian genera|journal=Palaeogeography, Palaeoclimatology, Palaeoecology|language=en|volume=471|pages=209–219|doi=10.1016/j.palaeo.2016.12.051|bibcode=2017PPP...471..209K |issn=0031-0182|doi-access=free}}
