Dapaloides is an extinct genus of prehistoric estuarine ray-finned fish that lived during the early Oligocene to the early Miocene epoch.^[1] Many of the remains now assigned to this genus were previously assigned to Dapalis.^[2]^[3] It was previously classified as a "percichthyid" under a former treatment of the family, but is now treated as an indeterminate perciform.^[2]^[4]

It contains two species known from Europe:

†D. sieblosensis (Winkler, 1880) - Rupelian to Early Miocene of Germany (=Smerdis sieblosensis Winkler, 1880, S. sandbergeri Winkler, 1880, S. rhoenensis Winkler, 1880, Perca macrantha Winkler, 1880) [body fossils and otoliths]^[2]^[3]^[4]
†D. miloni Gaudant, 1989 - Rupelian of Brittany, France [body fossils and otoliths]^[2]
