Pseudobagrus is a genus of catfishes (order Siluriformes) of the family Bagridae.

The two Coreobagrus species, C. brevicorpus and C. ichikiwai, are both treated in some recent literature as valid in Pseudobagrus.[4] It has been noted that Pelteobagrus may not be monophyletic if species placed in Pseudobagrus and Coreobagrus were excluded.[4]

Pseudobagrus species inhabit streams and rivers throughout East Asia.[3] About half of these species occur in China.[2]

Pseudobagrus species are small- to mid-sized bagrid catfishes.[3] These fish all have an inferior mouth; narial openings widely separated; four pairs of barbels; top of head covered by skin in most species; two dorsal fin spines; pelvic fin small; and caudal fin emarginate, truncate or round.[2]
