Spicara flexuosum, is a species of marine ray-finned fish belonging to the family Sparidae, the seabreams and porgies.

Spicara flexuosum was first formally described in 1810 by the French polymath and naturalist Constantine Samuel Rafinesque with its type locality given as Sicily.

[2] Some authorities have regarded S. flexuosa as a synonym of Spicara maena but both FishBase[3] and Catalog of Fishes treat it as a valid species.

The specific name, flexuosum, means "full of bends or curves", an allusion to the wavy yellow horizontal lines along the body of the breeding males.

It is a demersal fish found in schools at depths down to 130 m (430 ft) over sand and rubble areas of the seabed.
