Yujiangolepis is an extinct monospecific genus of arthrodire placoderm fish from the Pragian stage of the Devonian period. The type species is Yujiangolepis liujingensis, described from a single incomplete skull roof from the Nakaoling (Nagaoling) Formation of Hengxian, Guangxi, South China. It is one of the more basal members of the order Arthrodira, closely related to Antarctaspis, as shown in the cladogram below:
