Dapaloides is an extinct genus of prehistoric estuarine ray-finned fish that lived during the early Oligocene to the early Miocene epoch. Many of the remains now assigned to this genus were previously assigned to Dapalis. It was previously classified as a "percichthyid" under a former treatment of the family, but is now treated as an indeterminate perciform.
It contains two species known from Europe:
- D. sieblosensis <small>(Winkler, 1880)</small> - Rupelian to Early Miocene of Germany (=Smerdis sieblosensis <small>Winkler, 1880</small>, S. sandbergeri <small>Winkler, 1880</small>, S. rhoenensis <small>Winkler, 1880</small>, Perca macrantha <small>Winkler, 1880</small>) [body fossils and otoliths]
- D. miloni <small>Gaudant, 1989</small> - Rupelian of Brittany, France [body fossils and otoliths]
