泥盆纪（英语：Devonian，符号D）是地质时代古生代中的第四个纪，开始于同位素年龄416±2.8百万年（Ma），结束于359.2±2.5Ma。

泥盆纪在英语中叫Devonian，名称来自英国德文郡，因该地的泥盆纪地层被最早研究。其他语言的称呼与英文大同小异。中文名称源自旧时日本人使用日语汉字音读的音译名“泥盆纪”（音读：デーボンキ，罗马字：dēbonki）。

泥盆纪早期裸蕨类繁荣。中期后，腕足类和珊瑚发育、原始菊石、昆虫出现。晚期原始两栖类、迷齿类出现，蕨类植物和原始裸子植物出现；无颌类趋于灭绝。 年代：4.05亿年前—3.65亿年前。

The Devonian is a geologic period and system of the Paleozoic Era spanning from the end of the Silurian Period, about 419.2 Mya (million years ago), to the beginning of the Carboniferous Period, about 358.9. It is named after Devon, England, where rocks from this period were first studied. The Devonian period experienced the first significant adaptive radiation of terrestrial life. Free-sporing vascular plants began to spread across dry land, forming extensive forests which covered the continents. By the middle of the Devonian, several groups of plants had evolved leaves and true roots, and by the end of the period the first seed-bearing plants appeared. Various terrestrial arthropods also became well-established. Fish reached substantial diversity during this time, leading the Devonian to often be dubbed the "Age of Fish". The first ray-finned and lobe-finned bony fish appeared, while the placoderms began dominating almost every known aquatic environment.
