See text Forsterygion is a genus of triplefins in the family Tripterygiidae native to coastal New Zealand, but also introduced to Tasmania, Australia.

The following species are classified in this genus:[2] The name of this genus is an amalgam of Forster in honour of Johann Reinhold Forster (1729–1798) – a naturalist aboard Captain Cook’s second voyage on HMS Resolution; he collected the type on this voyage, describing it and naming it Blennius varius – and -ygion, the second part of the genus Tripterygion, into which F. varius and F. nigripenne had been placed.
