Callipurbeckia is an extinct genus of marine Semionotiformes ray-finned fish from the Late Jurassic and Early Cretaceous periods. Fossils have been found in Germany, Tanzania, and England.
It contains three species, which were previously classified in the related Lepisosteiformes genus Lepidotes.
Potential relatives of Callipurbeckia include Occitanichthys from the Tithonian of France (formerly confused with C. minor) and Tlayuamichin from the Albian of Mexico.
Its name comes from "", from an Ancient Greek word meaning beautiful, and "Purbeck Group", from the modern-day name of the area where a specimen of it was found.
