Pristolepis is a genus of fish in the family Pristolepididae, and a member of the order Anabantiformes. It is native to freshwater habitats in Southeast Asia and India's Western Ghats.
Their relationship to other members of the order was previously uncertain, with the 5th edition of Fishes of the World placing the family outside the order, alongside the Nandidae and Pristolepididae, in an unnamed and unranked but monophyletic clade. However, they are now placed in the anantiform suborder Nandoidei. Alongside the Nandidae, they are commonly known as "Asian leaffish".
