Milyeringa is a genus of blind cavefish from the Cape Range and Barrow Island, northwestern Australia. Although traditionally considered to be sleeper gobies (Eleotridae), studies show that they represent a distinct and far-separated lineage together with the Typhleotris cavefish from Madagascar, leading some to move them to their own family, Milyeringidae.[1][2]

The recognized species of this genus are:[3]
- Milyeringa brooksi Chakrabarty, 2010[1]
