Psammodus is an extinct genus of cartilaginous fish known from the Late Devonian to the Early Carboniferous period. It is the only member of the family Psammodontidae and the order Psammodontiformes, although other genera have been classified in these groups in the past. Psammodus were durophagous carnivores.
