Bourbonnella is an extinct genus of prehistoric freshwater bony fish that lived during the late Mississippian[2] (Carboniferous) and Asselian[3] (Cisuralian/early Permian epoch) in what is now Burgundy (Autun, France), Rhineland-Palatine (Germany) and the Czech Republik (Boskovice Graben).[3]

The genus was named by Daniel Heyler in 1967, describing the type species B. guilloti. Other species in the genus are B. fourrieri, B. hirsuta, B. jocelynae, and B. sottyi.
