Wladysagitta is an extinct genus of osteostracan jawless fish that existed during the lower Devonian period of what is now Podolia, Ukraine. This taxon was named in honor of Polish paleontologist Dr. Władysław Zych (1899–1981), and from the Latin sagitta, meaning arrow, which is in reference to the arrow-like shape of its skull.
