Brookvalia is an extinct genus of prehistoric freshwater ray-finned fish that lived during the Middle Triassic epoch (Anisian stage).

It contains four species, all known from the Hawkesbury Sandstone near Brookvale, New South Wales, Australia.

• †B. latipennis <small>(Wade, 1935)</small> (=Dictyopleurichthys latipennis <small>Wade, 1935</small>)
• †B. propennis <small>Wade, 1933</small>
• †B. spinosa <small>(Wade, 1935)</small> (=Beaconia spinosa <small>Wade, 1935</small>)

It was a member of the redfieldiiforms, a group of presumed basal neopterygians that were widespread during the Triassic.
