Sternoptyx is an oceanic ray-finned fish genus which belongs in the family Sternoptychidae. This is the type genus of the Sternoptychidae, as well as the marine hatchetfish subfamily Sternoptychinae.

It contains only four living species:^[1]

Sternoptyx diaphana Hermann, 1781 – Diaphanous Hatchetfish
Sternoptyx obscura Garman, 1899
Sternoptyx pseudobscura Baird, 1971 – Highlight Hatchetfish
Sternoptyx pseudodiaphana Borodulina, 1977 – False Oblique Hatchetfish

Fossils of this genus show that they have existed at least since the Early Oligocene, about 30 million years ago.^[2]
