The New Zealand urchin clingfish (Dellichthys morelandi) is a clingfish.

It is found around New Zealand wherever sea urchins are present.

[1] This species was described by John C. Briggs in 1955[2] and was thought to be the sole species in the monotypic genus Dellichthys until 2018 when a new species, Dellichthys trnskii, was described after being discovered from intertidal and shallow coastal waters of New Zealand in that year.

[3] Briggs gave the species its specific name in honour of John Munne Moreland (1921-2012) of the Dominion Museum in Wellington.
