扁鯊（學名Squatina squatina）是扁鯊科下的一種鯊魚，曾一度廣佈在大西洋東北部的海岸水域。它們的身體扁平，胸鰭及臀鰭也很闊，可以將自己偽裝成為海床的一部份。它們的特徵是有圓錐狀的觸鬚，背上沒有刺及呈灰色或褐色，有一些深淺色的斑紋。它們可以長達2.4米。 扁鯊是夜間活動的，會將自己隱藏在沉積中埋伏獵物。它們主要吃底棲區的硬骨魚、鰩科及無脊椎動物。它們是無胎盤胎生的，雌鯊每隔一年會生7至25條幼鯊。它們並不怎麼帶有攻擊性，但若受到騷擾，則會很快的咬對方。扁鯊早至古希臘時就已經被漁獵作為食物，並被當作安康魚賣到歐洲。自20世紀中茱，頻繁的漁業令它們的數量大減，現已從北部滅絕。餘下的群落也因繁殖率低而面臨威脅。國際自然保護聯盟故此將它們列為極危。

O tubarão-anjo ou peixe-anjo (Squatina squatina) é um peixe cartilagíneo do gênero Squatina. Este predador caça de surpresa e passa os dias enterrado no sedimento, só com os olhos de fora. Investe rapidamente sobre as presas como peixes ósseos, lulas, e crustáceos.
