Pristigenys is an extinct genus of fish in the family Priacanthidae. Fossils of the only species, P. substriata, have been found in the Eocene of Mount Bolca, Italy. The closely related extant genus Pseudopriacanthus was previously synonymized with Pristigenys, but has been recently revalidated based on numerous differences in the cranial region and the fins.
