Boreolepis is an extinct genus of prehistoric marine ray-finned fish that lived from the Late Kungurian to the Wuchiapingian of the Permian period. It inhabited the high northern latitudes in what is now Greenland and European Russia.[1][2][3][4]
Two species are known:[5]
- B. jenseni Aldinger, 1937 - Late Cisuralian (Kungurian) to Roadian of Russia, Wuchiapingian of Greenland (Clavering Island)
- B. tataricus Esin, 1996 - Late Capitanian/Early Wuchiapingian of Russia
