Coelacanths (order Coelacanthiformes) are an ancient group of lobe-finned fish (Sarcopterygii) within the class Actinistia. As sarcopterygians, they share a closer evolutionary relationship with lungfish and tetrapods (which include amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals) than with ray-finned fish.
