Dartfishes are a group of fish, formerly considered to be a subfamily, Ptereleotrinae, of goby-like fishes in the family Microdesmidae of the order Gobiiformes. They are saltwater fish. Authorities now consider the species in the family Microdesmidae are within the Gobiidae, although the researchers do not define the taxonomic status of this grouping within that family.
The dartfishes were briefly raised to family status, but have now been re-incorporated into the family Microdesmidae as a subfamily.
