Amblyeleotris marquesas is a species of goby only recorded from Nuku Hiva in the Marquesas Islands, central Pacific. As with other Amblyeleotris species, it has a symbiotic relationship with alpheid shrimps, one or a pair of gobies sharing a burrow with one or a pair of shrimps.
This is an elongated goby up to 7 cm standard length. It has a highly distinctive colour pattern: The background colour is pale green, white ventrally, marked with four broad vertical brownish red bars interspersed with four narrower, darker bars.
