Liopropoma emanueli, the Cape Verde basslet, is a species of marine ray-finned fish, related to the groupers and classified within the subfamily Epinephelinae of the family Serranidae.

[1] It is endemic to the Atlantic waters around Cape Verde, western Africa where it is found in rocky areas at depths of 20 to 36 metres (66 to 118 ft).

It is mainly orange to pink in overall colour with a single obvious, wide, yellow stripe extending from the tip of the snout over much of the body.

[2] Lioporopoma emanueli was first observed along the face of a vertical wall which was covered with the sun coral Tubastrea aurea, at a depth of 36 metres (118 ft).

[2] Liopropoma emanueli was first formally described in 2012 by Peter Wirtz and Ulrich K. Schliewen with the type locality given as Dive site "Danger" near Tarrafal on Santiago, Cape Verde.
