Allolepidotus ("different Lepidotes") is an extinct genus of prehistoric marine holostean ray-finned fish from the Middle Triassic of Italy. It contains a single species, A. ruppelii, from the late Ladinian-aged Perledo-Varenna Formation. It was formerly referred to the halecomorph order Panxianichthyiformes, but is now thought to be a member of the Ionoscopiformes. The misspelled specific epithet (which is sometimes amended to rueppelli in later studies) honors naturalist Eduard Rüppell.^[1]^[2]^[3]^[4]

The species A. bellottii was also formerly placed in this genus, but is now known to be a member of Eoeugnathus. The species A. nothosomoides, also placed in this genus, is now placed in its own genus, Perledovatus.^[4]
