Bramoides is an extinct genus of marine ray-finned fish that lived during the lower Eocene. It contains a single species, B. brieni, known from the London Clay.1
It is generally considered an early pomfret, hence the name Bramoides (meaning "similar to Brama"). However, this placement has been doubted by other authors, although alternate placements have not been suggested.2
