Actinistia is a subclass of mostly fossil lobe-finned fishes. This subclass contains the coelacanths, including the two living coelacanths, the West Indian Ocean coelacanth and the king of the sea.
Taxonomy
- Class Sarcopterygii (lobe-finned fishes and tetrapods)
- Subclass Actinistia

- Diplocercides (Nesides)
- Family Hadronectoridae
- Family Rhabdodermatidae (Primarily Carboniferous)
- Family Laugiidae (Lower Triassic to Lower Cretaceous)
- Order Coelacanthiformes (modern coelacanths and their most recent ancestors)
