Bodianus or the hogfishes is a genus of fish in the family Labridae found in the Atlantic, Indian and Pacific Ocean.

[4] Bodianus belongs to the wrasse tribe Hypsigenyini.

The three species B. darwini, B. pulcher, and B. reticulatus, commonly called the sheephead wrasses, have traditionally formed their own genus Semicossyphus.

Although at least the latter two species form a monophyletic lineage with each other,[5] Semicossyphus has subsequently been synonymized with Bodianus, as molecular phylogenetics found that Semicossyphus is nested deep within Bodianus.

[5][6][7] There are currently 45 recognized species in this genus:
