Brookvalia is an extinct genus of prehistoric freshwater ray-finned fish that lived during the Middle Triassic epoch (Anisian stage).[2][1] It contains a single species, B. gracilis, known from the Hawkesbury Sandstone near Brookvale, New South Wales, Australia.[3]
It was a member of the redfieldiiforms, a group of presumed basal neopterygians that were widespread during the Triassic.[4][5]
