Enophrys is a genus of marine ray-finned fishes belonging to the family Cottidae, the typical sculpins.

Enophrys was first proposed as a monospecific genus in 1839 by the English zoologist William Swainson with its only and type species being Cottus claviger.

[4] Enophrys prefixes phrys, meaning "brow", with en, ning "very", presumed to be a reference to the thick orbital ridge of the type species.

[7] The bull sculpin is the smallest species with a maximum recorded total length of 17 cm (6.7 in) while the largest species is the buffalo sculpin which reaches a maximum published total length of 37 cm (15 in).

[6] Enophrys sculpins are only found in the northern and Eastern Pacific Oceans from the Sea of Japan to California.
