Champsocephalus is a genus of marine ray-finned fish belonging to the family Channichthyidae, the crocodile icefishes. They are native to the Southern Ocean.
==Taxonomy== Champsocephalus was first formally described as a genus in 1862 by the American ichthyologist Theodore Nicholas Gill as he thought that its type species, Chaenichthys esox which had been described in 1861 by Albert Günther, was distinct enough to be classified in its own genus.
