The Sarcopterygii or lobe-finned fish constitute a clade of the bony fish, though a strict cladistic view includes the terrestrial vertebrates. The living sarcopterygians are the coelacanths, lungfish, and the tetrapods.

Tetrapods (amphibians, reptiles, birds and mammals) emerged within lobe-finned fishes, so cladistically they are fish as well. Nevertheless we only speak in this page of "Sarcopterygii" which are not Tetrapods
