Carcharodon hubbelli is an extinct species of shark known from fossils found in the Pisco Formation in south-west Peru. The shark is a transitional species, showing intermediate features between present-day great white sharks and smaller, prehistoric mako sharks.[1][2]

This shark was named in honour of Gordon Hubbell (the scientist who recovered the specimen from a farmer who found it in 1988)[3] in recognition of his contribution to shark palaeontology.[2]
