'''''Rhinogobius''''' is a genus of primarily freshwater gobies in the family Oxudercidae, native to tropical and temperate parts of eastern Asia.<ref name=FishBase>{{FishBase genus | genus = Rhinogobius | month = January | year = 2016}}</ref> Most are small, streamlined in shape, and often sexually dimorphic. Few are of commercial importance, but ''R. duospilus'' is fairly widely traded as an aquarium fish.
