Обыкновенные куньи акулы (лат. Mustelus) — один из родов семейства куньих акул (Triakidae). Название рода происходит от слова лат. mustela — «ласка». Максимальный зафиксированный размер составляет 159 см, а вес 13 кг. Эти акулы (наряду с вислоносыми акулами) имеют необычную для кархаринообразных (и редкую среди акул вообще) форму зубов: они тупые, обычно не имеют зубчиков и покрывают челюсть сплошной «мостовой».
