Gebrayelichthyidae is a family of extinct pycnodontid fish, with a superficially shrimpfish-like appearance that lived during the lower Cenomanian.^[1]

The family is composed of two genera, the type genus, Gebrayelichthys, and the monotypic Maraldichthys.^[1] The Gebrayelichthyids are highly modified in appearance, having their bodies compressed and vertebrae elongated.

Gebrayelichthyidae, together with Gladiopycnodontidae and Coccodontidae, make up the pycnodontid superfamily Coccodontoidea.
