Argyrozona is a monospecific genus of marine ray-finned fish belonging to the family Sparidae, the seabreams and progies.

Argyrozona was first proposed as a monospecific genus in 1938 by the South African ichthyologist James Leonard Brierley Smith.

The only species in the genus was Dentex argyrozona,[3] which had been first formally described in 1830 by the French zoologist Achille Valenciennes who gave its type locality as the Cape of Good Hope in South Africa.

[2] Argyrozona is found in the Western Indian Ocean where it is endemic to the waters off South Africa between Table Bay and the mouth of the Kei River, it is uncommon as far north as KwaZulu-Natal.

[1] Agryrozona are mainly resident as adults, although a small percentage of fish have been found to move more than 100 km (62 mi) in tagging studies.
