Ferganoceratodus (from Fergana + Ceratodus) is a genus of prehistoric freshwater lungfish known from worldwide during the Mesozoic. Based on morphological evidence, it has either been recovered as a basal member of the Ceratodontiformes or to be the sister group of the Neoceratodontidae (containing the extant Australian lungfish).

Challands et al (2023) defined synapomorphies of the genus as being a pterygoid tooth plate with five to six ridges, a prearticular tooth plate with four to five ridges, three bones on the medial skull roof series, and two bones on the calvarium. Under this definition, the genus is significantly expanded. However, most of these placements are only tentative.
