Amblyeleotris harrisorum is a species of goby currently only recorded from Kiritimati in the Line Islands of the central Pacific. As with other Amblyeleotris species, it has a symbiotic relationship with alpheid shrimps.

This is an elongated goby up to 75 mm standard length. The background colour is white marked with five vertical pale orange bars. It is most readily distinguished from its congeners by its very colourful caudal fin, bright yellow with orange and blue margin and also by an oblique yellow stripe behind the eye.
