The Vistula Barbel (Barbus waleckii) is a disputed species of ray-finned fish in the genus Barbus.
It is often included in B. cyclolepis. More recently, it has been hypothesized to be a hatural hybrid that originated from a Common Barbel (B. barbus) female mating with a Carpathian Barbel (B. carpathicus) male.
