Horabagrus is a genus of catfish in the family Horabagridae endemic to rivers in the Western Ghats in Kerala and Karnataka, India.

[1] H. brachysoma is an important food fish and members of this genus can be found in the aquarium trade.

[2] In Nelson (2006), the genus is provisionally placed in the family Schilbeidae, where it is sometimes recognized as its own subfamily.

In de Pinna (1998), this genus is classified as sister to the catfishes Pangasiidae and above, which would require a separate family.

These fish are adaptable and are not picky about water conditions; also, they are hardy and easy to feed.
