Osteobrama is a genus of cyprinid fish found in southern Asia consisting of eight species. The name is derived from the Greek word osteon, meaning "bone", and the Old French word breme, a type of freshwater fish.

[edit]These are the species in the genus:[2]
- Osteobrama alfredianus (Valenciennes, 1844)
- Osteobrama bakeri (Day, 1873)
- Osteobrama belangeri (Valenciennes, 1844)
- Osteobrama cotio (Hamilton, 1822)

Fishbase formerly regarded O. bhimensis as a synonym of O. vigorsii, and also treats the former subspecies of O. cotio as distinct species: O. cunma and O. peninsularis,[3][4] which is not supported by ITIS[5] or WoRMS.[1]
