Phlyctaenius is an extinct genus of placoderm fish, which lived during the Devonian period of New Brunswick, Canada.^[1] It was named by Traquair (1890)^[2]^[3] as a replacement for Phlyctaenium Zittel (1879), which was preoccupied.^[4]

One species, P. anglicus, was known from remains found in England and Wales and was initially described by Traquair (1890).^[3] It was moved to Heightingtonaspis when the genus was described by White (1969).^[5]
