Cyttoides is an extinct genus of prehistoric marine ray-finned fish that lived during the early Oligocene epoch in the western Paratethys Sea over Europe. It contains a single species, C. glaronensis from the Matt Formation of Canton Glarus, Switzerland. It was a zeiform related to the extant genus Cyttus.

The modern king dory (Cyttus traversi) was briefly classified into the genus Cyttoides, but was reclassified back when that genus was found to be preoccupied by C. glaronensis.
