Planiliza is a genus of mullets found in coastal marine waters, estuaries and rivers in the Indo-Pacific.
==Taxonomy== The genus Planiliza was resurrected for nearly all Indo-Pacific species previously assigned to Liza because DNA-based cladistic analyses recovered Liza as polyphyletic, with some species placed as sister to the Chelon type species and nearly all Indo-Pacific species to Planiliza.
