Dalpiazia is an extinct genus of sclerorhynchoid fish whose fossils are found in rocks dating from the Maastrichtian stage in mines in Jordan, Libya, Morocco and Syria. The type species D. stromeri was named by Checchia-Rispoli (1933) in honor of Ernst Stromer,G. Checchia-Rispoli. (1933). Di un nuovo genere di "Pristidae" del Cretaceo superiore della Triplitania. Reale Accademia d'Italia Memoire della Classe di Scienze Fisiche, Matematiche e Naturali4(1):1-6 and the holotype, a rostral tooth, was found in Tripolitania, Libya.
The validity of Dalpiazia has been questioned on the basis of its similarities to Ischyrhiza, a subgenus of Onchosaurus.C. Arambourg. (1940). Le groupe des Ganopristinés [The group of the ganopristines]. Bulletin de la Société Géologique de France, série 5 10:127-147
