Citharichthys is a genus of flatfish in the large-tooth flounder family, Paralichthyidae.

They are native to the oceans around the Americas, with a single species, C. stampflii off the West African coast.

Most are found in relatively shallow depths, but the genus also includes species found in deep water (down to at least 2,000 m or 6,600 ft)[2] and species that enter fresh water.

They are a dull light-brown, and are mottled with brown or black, sometimes with yellow or orange.

The largest species reaches 41 cm (16 in) in length.
