'''''Novumbra''''' is a genus of '''mudminnows''' (family Umbridae) native to Oregon and Washington state, USA.<ref>{{Catalogue of Life |id=482C5 |title=Novumbra hubbsi Schultz, 1929 |option= |access-date=20 March 2021 }}</ref> Molecular data suggests that this genus is more closely related to ''Esox'' than ''Dallia'' and ''Umbra''. ''Novumbra'' diverged from ''Esox'' roughly 65 million years ago in the Paleocene.<ref>{{Cite journal|last1=Campbell|first1=Matthew A.|last2=López|first2=J.
