Artedius is a genus of marine ray-finned fishes belonging to the family Cottidae, the typical sculpins. These fishes are found in the northern Pacific Ocean.
==Taxonomy== Artedius was first proposed as a genus in 1854 by the French zoologist Charles Frédéric Girard with Scorpaenichthys lateralis, described by Girard from California in 1854, designated as its type species by Jordan and Evermann in 1896. The 5th edition of Fishes of the World classifies this genus in the subfamily Cottinae of the family Cottidae but other authorities classify it in the subfamily Oligocottinae of the family Psychrolutidae.
