The goldribbon soapfish (Aulacocephalus temminckii), also known as the goldribbon cod, blue and gold soapfish, gold ribbon grouper or goldstripe groper, is a species of marine ray-finned fish, related to the groupers and included in the subfamily Epinephelinae which is part of the family Serranidae, which also includes the anthias and sea basses.

It also occurs off Australia and New Zealand, Norfolk Island and in French Polynesia.

[1] The goldribbon soapfish is found on rocky reefs where it lives in caves and underneath crevices,[3] at depths of 20 to 604 metres (66 to 1,982 ft).

[3] The goldribbon soapfish was first formally described in 1854 by the dutch ichthyologist, herpetologist and physician Pieter Bleeker (1819-1874) with the type locality given as Japan.

[5] The genus was created in 1843 by the Dutch zoologist Coenraad Jacob Temminck (1778-1858) and his student, the German ichthyologist Hermann Schlegel (1804-1884) and was originally described without any species until Bleeker added this species.
