Carangiformes is an order of ray-finned fishes that is part of a sister clade to the Ovalentaria, the other orders in the clade being the Synbranchiformes, Anabantiformes, Istiophoriformes, and Pleuronectiformes. The Carangiformes have been long regarded as a monotypic order with only the family Carangidae within it by some authorities, and the other current families within the order have been previously classified as part of the wider order Perciformes. The 5th edition of Fishes of the World classify six families within Carangiformes, with other authorities expanding the order to include up to 30 families.

The earliest known carangiforms are two fossil species of Mene, Mene purydi from Peru and Mene phosphatica from Tunisia, both of which are known from the Late Paleocene.

Modern Classification

This classification is from Eschmeyer's Catalog of Fishes Classification.

      • Family Paralichthodidae Regan 1920 (peppered flounders)
      • Family Oncopteridae Jordan & Goss 1889 (remo flounders)
      • Family Rhombosoleidae Regan 1910 (South Pacific flounders)
      • Family Achiropsettidae Heemstra 1990 (southern flounders or armless flounders)
      • Family Achiridae Rafinesque 1815 (American soles)
      • Family Samaridae Jordan & Goss 1889 (crested flounders)
      • Family Poecilopsettidae Norman 1934 (bigeye flounders)
      • Family Soleidae Bonaparte 1833 (soles)
      • Family Cynoglossidae Jordan 1888 (tonguefishes)
        • Subfamily Symphurinae Ochiai 1963 (straightsnout tongue soles)
        • Subfamily Cynoglossinae Jordan 1888 (hookedsnout tongue soles)
    • Suborder Toxotoidei
    • Suborder Nematistioidei

Traditional Classification

These families are classified within the order Carangiformes:

The Coryphaenidae, Rachycentridae, and Echeneidae have been suggested to comprise a monophyletic grouping, which has been recovered as a sister clade to the Carangidae. A basal member of this clade is thought to be Ductoridae from the early Eocene.
