}}

Dipterus (meaning 'two wings') is an extinct genus of lungfish from the late Devonian period of Europe and North America.

In most respects, Dipterus, which was about {{convert|35|cm|in}} long, closely resembled modern lungfish. Like its ancestor Dipnorhynchus, it had tooth-like plates on its palate instead of real teeth. However, unlike its modern relatives, in which the dorsal, caudal, and anal fin are fused into one, Dipterus's fins were still separated.[2] It mostly ate invertebrates{{Citation needed|date=April 2009}}, and had lungs, not an air bladder. These were more developed in Dipterus and are still seen in modern-day lungfish.

The genus was established by Adam Sedgwick & Roderick Murchison in the year 1828.
