Lanarkia is a genus of extinct thelodont agnathan which existed in what is now Scotland and Canada during the upper Silurian period.^[1]

There are two species of Lanarkia, Lanarkia spinosa and Lanarkia horrida.^{[citation needed]}

Lanarkia were very small fish specifically 30-45 cm in length that would have been possible prey to eurypterids.^[2]
