Leaffishes are small fishes of the family Polycentridae. They consist of four genera found in fresh and brackish water in South America and Africa.
The African species were formerly placed in the Anabantiform family Nandidae (otherwise found only in Asia), but recent taxonomic studies have affirmed their relationship to the South American species. Their taxonomic placement was previously debated, but they are now generally placed in the order Cichliformes.
