Hacquetia is an dubious genus of extinct prehistoric bony fish known from the early Eocene.[1] It contains a single species, H. bolcensis, known from the Monte Bolca site of Italy. It is known from an imperfect skeleton of poor preservation.[2] It was initially described as a potential fistulariid, but Sepkoski (2003) considered it a clupeiform.[3][1] Woodward (1901) treated it as a ray-finned fish of uncertain affinities.[2] It is not included in more recent checklists of the Bolca fauna.[4]
