Meuschenia hippocrepis, commonly called the horseshoe leatherjacket, is a filefish endemic to the eastern Indian Ocean, in the temperate waters off the south and west of Australia.

[2] Its common name comes from a distinct horseshoe-shaped marking on their side.

[3] It occasionally makes its way into the aquarium trade.

The fish occurs from the Houtman Abrolhos, Western Australia, to Wilsons Promontory, Victoria, and south to Bicheno, Tasmania.

[4] It is often found around rocky reefs, and in deeper bays and estuaries.
