Danatinia is an extinct genus of lamprid fish from the Eocene. It contains a single species, D. casca from Danata Formation Lagerstatten, of the earliest Ypresian of Turkmenistan. It was first named by Daniltshenko in 1968.[1]

D. casca was sympatric with its close relative, Turkmene. In life, it would have resembled a very small opah.
