'''''Nandopsis''''' is a small genus of cichlid fishes found in lakes, streams and rivers in Cuba and Hispaniola. ''Nandopsis'' are the only cichlids native to the Antilles.

An additional species, ''N. vombergae'' is recognized by some, but considered a synonym of ''N. haitiensis'' by FishBase.<ref name="FishBase"/> * ''Nandopsis haitiensis'' <small>(Tee-Van, 1935)</small> (Haitian cichlid) - Hispaniola (Dominican Republic and Haiti)<ref name="IUCN - N. haitiensis"/> * ''Nandopsis ramsdeni'' <small>(Fowler, 1938)</small> (Joturo) - Cuba<ref name="IUCN - N. ramsdeni"/> * ''Nandopsis tetracanthus'' <small>(Valenciennes, 1831)</small> (Biajaca) - Cuba<ref name="IUCN - N. tetracanthus"/> * † ''Nandopsis woodringi'' <small>Graham, 1990</small> (Haiti)<ref name="FToL"/>
