Lycodapus is a genus of marine ray-finned fishes belonging to the family Zoarcidae, the eelpouts. The species in this genus are found in the Pacific and Southern Oceans.
==Taxonomy== Lycodapus was first proposed as a monospecific genus in 1890 by the American ichthyologist Charles Henry Gilbert when he described Lycodapus fierasfer from the Gulf of California. This genus is classified within the subfamily Lycodinae, one of 4 subfamilies in the family Zoarcidae, the eelpouts. This genus is the sister taxon to Bothrocara, Bothrocarina and Lycogrammoides, and these four genera form a clade within the subfamily Lycodinae.
