Phreatobius, also known as cistern catfishes, is a genus of very small catfishes (order Siluriformes) from tropical South America.

==Taxonomy== For quite some time Phreatobius cisternarum was the only species in the genus. However, two new species were described relatively recently in 2007, Phreatobius dracunculus and Phreatobius sanguijuela.
