Dracopristis is an extinct genus of prehistoric shark that lived during the Late Cretaceous period. Fossil remains of Dracopristis have been discovered in marine deposits, indicating its habitat was the ancient seas.

The teeth are often described as "saw-like" due to their prominent serrations.
The type species, Dracopristis hoffmanorum, was described in 2019 based on fossilized teeth found in the Bluffport
