The New Zealand flathead, Bembrops morelandi, is a ray-finned fish of the family Bembropidae, found only around New Zealand, at depths between 365 and 395 m. Their length is up to 20 cm.

The flathead is named in honor of John "Jock" Munne Moreland (1921-2012), who was the Curator of Ichthyology and Herpetology at the National Museum of New Zealand, because of his contribution to the study of the fishes of New Zealand.
