Lamellodiscus is a genus of monopisthocotylean monogeneans in the family Diplectanidae; all species of Lamellodiscus are small worms, parasitic on the gills of teleost fish.
The type-species of the genus is Lamellodiscus typicus Johnston & Tiegs, 1922, a parasite of a sparid fish caught in Moreton Bay, Queensland, Australia. Johnston, T.H. & Tiegs, O.W. (1922) New Gyrodactyloid Trematodes from Australian fishes together with a reclassification of the Super-Family Gyrodactyloidea. Proceedings of the Linnean Society of New South Wales, 47, 83–131.

Etymology T. Harvey Johnston & Oscar Werner Tiegs, who created the genus in 1922, did not formally explain the etymology of the new name. However, their definition of the new genus "disc well developed, with the accessory locomotory disc (squamodisc) peculiarly modified in such a way as to present numerous concentric rows consisting each of a pair of laterally elongated lamellae" shows that the name refers to the lamellae of the squamodisc (an attachment organ). Such an organ is now called a lamellodisc.
Hosts Hosts of Lamellodiscus species are mainly sparids and lethrinids, with very rare cases reported from centracanthids, pomacanthids and pomacentrids.
