Acestridium colombiensis is a species of catfish belonging to the family Loricariidae. It is currently only known from the Inírida River, Guainía Department in the east of Colombia.
Like all Acestridium spp, this is a very slender and elongated fish. Specimens of up to around 5 cm standard length have been recorded. It can most readily distinguished from its congeners by its rather homogenous brown coloration (as opposed to having striped markings) and the very low number of jaw teeth.
