''Ophiopsiella'' is an extinct genus of prehistoric ray-finned fish.
The type species, ''Ophiopsiella procera'', described by Agassiz (1844), was previously considered by some authors to be the ''Ophiopsis'' type species. However, Lane and Ebert (2015) noted that ''Ophiopsis'' originally included ''O. muensteri'' only when first erected by Agassiz (1834), so they erected the new genus ''Ophiopsiella'' for ''Ophiopsis procera'', referring ''"Ophiopsis" attenuata'' Wagner (1863), ''"Ophiopsis" penicillata'' Agassiz (1843), ''"Ophiopsis" breviceps'' Egerton (1852), ''"Ophiopsis" dorsalis'' Agassiz (1843), ''"Ophiopsis" montsechensis'' Wenz (1968) and ''"Ophiopsis" lepturus'' Bellotti (1857) to the genus.Lane, J.
