Errolosteus goodradigbeensis is an extinct buchanosteid arthrodire placoderm. Its fossils have been found in Emsian-aged marine strata of New South Wales, Australia.
The holotype of E. goodradigbeensis was described at the same as its sympatric relative, Arenipiscis. Errolosteus can be distinguished by having a comparatively short, broad skull.
