Ebosia is a genus of marine ray-finned fishes belonging to the family Scorpaenidae, the scorpionfishes.

Ebosia was described as a genus in 1904 by the American ichthyologists David Starr Jordan and Edwin Chapin Starks in 1904 with Pterois bleekeri, which had been described in 1884 by Ludwig Heinrich Philipp Döderlein from Tokyo, as the type species.

[1] This genus is classified within the tribe Pteroini of the subfamily Scorpaeninae within the family Scorpaenidae.

[3] There are currently 4 recognized species in this genus:[4] Ebosia lionfishes are characterised by having the bases of the spines on the nuchal, parietal and coronal bones being continuous with the parietal spine being longer and, in males, creates a slender, bony crest.

[4] Ebosia lionfishes are found in the Indo-Pacific from the eastern coast of Africa between Somalia and South Africa across the Indian Ocean and eastwards into the Pacific Ocean as far as eastern Australia, north to Japan, Korea and China.
