Bentartia is a genus of marine ray-finned fish belonging to the family Zoarcidae, the eelpouts.

Some authorities treat this genus as monospecific, with the only species being Bentartia cinerea of the Southern Ocean, but other authorities include 4 species from the eastern Pacific Ocean.

Bentartia was first proposed as a genus by the Argentinian zoologist Jésus Matallanas when he described its only species B. ciberea with a type locality given as the Gerlache Strait in the Southern Ocean at 64°32'58"S, 61°97'38"W from a depth of 1,056 m (3,465 ft).

[5] Bentartia, as B. cinerea, was originally described from the Gerlache Strait.

[6] The other species which have since been assigned to this genus are found in the eastern Pacific between the Bering Strait in the north and Chile in the south.
