Lepidobero is a monospecific genus of freshwater ray-finned fish belonging to the family Cottidae, the typical sculpins. Its only species is Lepidobero sinensis which is endemic to China.

Lepidobero was first proposed as a genus in 1992 by the Chinese biologists in Qin Ke-Jing and Jin Xin-Bo when they described its only species Lepidobero sinensis with its type locality given as Hei-Shi-Jiao, Dalian in Liaoning. This taxon is placed in the family Cottidae by some authorities, while others place it in the subfamily Psychrolutinae of the family Psychrolutidae.
