Odontamblyopus roseus is a species of eel goby found in muddy-bottomed coastal waters along the west coast of India. This long, slender fish can be distinguished from its congeners by the chocolate-brown distal margins of the dorsal and anal fins (all similar species have concolorous fins) and the bony top of the skull, without a covering of muscles.
