Rhodeus uyekii is a temperate freshwater fish belonging to the Acheilognathinae sub-family of the Cyprinidae family. It originates in inland rivers in South Korea. It was originally described as Pseudoperilampus uyekii by T. Mori in 1935. The fish reaches a size of up to 6.0 centimetres (2.4 in).
When spawning, the females deposit their eggs inside bivalves, where they hatch and the young remain until they can swim.
