'''''Rasbora''''' is a genus of fish in the family Danionidae.<ref name="Cof family">{{Cof family|family=Rasborinae|access-date=10 February 2025}}</ref> They are native to freshwater habitats in South and Southeast Asia, as well as southeast China.<ref name=FB/> A single species, ''Rasbora gerlachi'', is only known from an old specimen that reputedly originated from Africa (Cameroon), but this locality is considered doubtful.<ref>{{FishBase | genus = Rasbora | species=gerlachi | month = October | year = 2016 }}</ref> They are small, up to {{convert|17|cm|in|abbr=on}} long, although most species do not surpass {{convert|10|cm|in|abbr=on|0}} and many have a dark horizontal stripe.<ref name=FB>{{FishBase_genus | genus = Rasbora | month = October | year = 2016 }}</ref>

Several species are regularly kept in aquariums. As a common English name, "rasbora" is used for many species in the genus ''Rasbora'', as well as several species in genera ''Brevibora'', ''Boraras'', ''Megarasbora'', ''Metzia'', ''Microdevario'', ''Microrasbora'', ''Rasboroides'', ''Rasbosoma'', ''Sawbwa'', ''Trigonopoma'' and ''Trigonostigma''.<ref>Marelius, Charlotte (January 2014).
