The spiny scorpionfish (Trachyscorpia echinata) is a species of marine ray-finned fish belonging to the subfamily Sebastinae, the rockfishes, part of the family Scorpaenidae.

The spiny scorpionfish was first formally described as Scorpaena echinata in 1896 by the French zoologist Jean Baptiste François René Koehler with the type locality given as the Bay of Biscay in France.

The specific name echinata means "prickly", an allusion Koehler did not explain, but it is likely to be a reference to its spiny ctenoid scales.

[6][7] It is reddish with a dusky pigment on back and sides; the dorsal fin is black in males and brown in females.

[6] The spiny scorpionfish lives in the northeast Atlantic Ocean and Mediterranean Sea.
