Paranogmius is an extinct genus of prehistoric bony fish that lived during the Cenomanian.[1] It is known from a single vertebra discovered in the Bahariya Formation. The bone was destroyed during World War II and since then, no more fossils have been discovered.

Paranogmius doederleini may have been the same animal as Concavotectum.
