Torquigener flavimaculosus is a pufferfish of the family Tetraodontidae, capable of very rapid body inflation when threatened.

Native to the Western Indian Ocean,[1] it is also found in the Indo Pacific from the Persian Gulf to the Seychelles.

Recorded first in the Mediterranean Sea in 1987, following a likely migration through the Suez Canal, it is now expanding westward.
