Codlets are a family, Bregmacerotidae, of cod-like fishes, containing the single genus Bregmaceros found in tropical and subtropical waters throughout the world. They are very small fishes, and even the largest, B. lanceolatus, reaches only in length.
The codlets appear to be sister to all remaining Gadiformes lineages, even when attempting to account for possible long branch attraction. They are the only member of the suborder Bregmacerotoidei.
