Rhabdoderma is an extinct genus of coelacanth fish in the class Sarcopterygii. It lived in the Carboniferous and Early Triassic (Induan), and its fossils have been found in Europe, Madagascar and North America. The type species was originally described as Coelacanthus elegans. Five species are considered valid in 1981.
