Verilus sordidus is a species of ray-finned fish in the family Malakichthyidae.

It is native to the central western Atlantic Ocean.

It is found in the waters off Cuba to Colombia and Venezuela where it is found at depths shallower than 100 metres (330 ft) over rocky bottoms.

[3] It can be distinguished from other fish in its genus by several characters, including villiform teeth on the upper jaw and conical teeth on the lower, with large canine teeth, and the number of spines and rays in its fins.
