The common mudskipper (Periophthalmus kalolo) is a species of mudskipper native to marine and brackish waters of the Indo-Pacific from eastern Africa to Samoa.

This species can be found in mangrove forests where it spends most of its time out of the water.

This species can reach a length of 14.1 centimetres (5.6 in) SL.

[2] Larger individuals aggregate in exposed intertidal mudflats and tend to spend about 90% of their lifetime out of the water.
