'''''Colletteichthys''''' is a genus of toadfishes found in the western Indian Ocean. The generic name is a compound of the surname Collette, in honour of the American ichthyologist Bruce Baden Collette to recognise his contribution to the study of toadfish, and the Greek ''ichthys'' meaning "fish".<ref name = ETYFish>{{cite web | author1 = Christopher Scharpf | author2 = Kenneth J.
