Colobodontidae is an extinct family of marine stem-neopterygian fish known from the Triassic of Asia and Europe. It contains at least three genera: Colobodus, Crenilepis and Feroxichthys; the genera Chaohuperleidus and Gabanellia may also belong to the family. The colobodontids typically were medium-sized, somewhat deep-bodied fishes with a durophagous diet. Like most other stem-neopterygian families, it was traditionally placed in the paraphyletic order Perleidiformes, but in 2024 it was moved to the new, monotypic order Colobodontiformes.
