Phareodus is a genus of freshwater fish from the Paleocene to Eocene of North America.
This genus includes two species, P. testis (Leidy, 1873) and P. encaustus of North America. Formerly included were P. muelleri of Europe, now accepted in the related genus Brychaetus as B. muelleri and P. queenslandicus of Australia which was later reassigned to Phareoides. Representatives have been found in the middle Eocene of North America's Green River Formation in Wyoming, United States and a tentatively identified Phareodus fossil was reported in 2023 from the Chuckanut Formation in Washington.
