Ctenaspis (Ctenaspis kaieri) is an extinct genus of heterostracan cyathaspid agnathans from the early Devonian of Canada, Norway and Russia 416.0 to 412.3 million years ago. Species of Ctenaspis are typically 10 to 18 cm long with the max length being 40 cm long. The genus contains only one known species, namely Ctenaspis kaieri.
