thumb|Batasio for sale in Kolkata market, West Bengal, India. Batasio is a genus of catfish of the family Bagridae. These small fish are found in fast-flowing hillstreams throughout South and mainland Southeast Asia.
==Taxonomy== Batasio was first described by Edward Blyth in 1860 with Batasio buchanani (a needless renaming of Batasio batasio) designated as type. B. pakistanicus, described in 1989, is tentatively placed in Batasio, but its generic placement is questionable.
