Telmatochromis brichardi is a species of cichlid from the tribe Lamprologini, part of the subfamily Pseudocrenilabrinae, endemic to Lake Tanganyika.

It feeds on algae in rocky habitat.

It is a cavity nester which forms temporary pairs for breeding, in which the male defends the territory and the female tends the brood.
