Dercetoides (meaning "resemblant of Dercetis") is a genus of prehistoric marine ray-finned fish from the Late Cretaceous period. It contains a single species, D. venator, known from the early Cenomanian-aged Amminadav Formation of the West Bank, Palestine. It was a member of the Dercetidae, a group of elongated aulopiforms that were related to modern lancetfish and lizardfish.
