Dalpiazia is a prehistoric genus of sclerorhynchid sawfish whose fossils are found in rocks dating from the Maastrichtian stage in Morocco.[1] It was named in honor of Ernst Stromer.

The validity of Dalpiazia has been questioned on the basis of its similarities to Ischyrhiza, a subgenus of Onchosaurus.[2]
