Porolepiformes is an order of prehistoric lobe-finned fish which lived during the Devonian period (about 359 to 416 million years ago). The group contains two families: Holoptychiidae and Porolepidae. The group was for a time thought to have given rise to the salamanders and caecilians idependently of the other tetrapods, a view no longer in favour in Paleontology, see Batrachomorpha.
