A genus of lobe-finned fish that lived in the Devonian Period of the Paleozoic Eusthenopteron. Along with coelacanths and lungfish, it has been considered one of the fishes that are closest to amphibians. It has two dorsal fins and a three-lobed tail. The internal skeleton that supports the pectoral and pelvic fins has a basic structure similar to that of primitive amphibians. It has been thought to have internal nostrils that connect to the oral cavity, but some scholars have recently doubted the existence of internal nostrils. It is considered to be the most primitive of the amphibians, and its internal structure is very similar to that of Ichthyostega, which lived in the Devonian Period of Greenland, so it is considered to be one of the closest organisms to the stage when vertebrates transitioned from an aquatic life to a terrestrial life.

古生代のデボン紀に生息した総鰭(そうき)類の一属。ユーステノプテロンともいう。シーラカンス類や肺魚類とともに最も両生類に近い魚類の一つとして考えられてきた。背びれは2基あり,尾びれは3葉に分かれている。胸びれと腹びれを支える内部骨格は原始的両生類のものと基本構造が似ている。口腔に通じる内鼻孔が存在するとされてきたが,最近になって内鼻孔の存在を疑う学者もある。両生類の仲間で最も原始的とされており,グリーンランドのデボン紀に生息していたイクチオステガと内部構造がよく似ているので,脊椎動物が水中生活から陸上生活へ移行する段階の生物に最も近いものの一つとされている。
