Dartfishes are a family, Ptereleotridae, of goby-like fishes in the order Perciformes. They are saltwater fish.

The dartfishes were formerly classified as the subfamily Ptereleotrinae of the wormfishes, Microdesmidae, but this classification made Microdesmidae polyphyletic, hence the elevation to a family within the suborder Gobioidei.

Species

FishBase lists 45 species in five genera:

Oxymetopon cyanoctenosum
