Acanthocobitis is a genus of freshwater ray-finned fish of the stone loach family, Nemacheilidae. Recent work has suggested that the genus be split into two with the former subgenus Paracanthocobitis being raised to a full species, leaving just the type species, Acanthocobitis pavonacea, in the current genus.[2]

The following species are included in Acanthocobitis:[3][4]
- Acanthocobitis longipinnis Peters, 1861
- Acanthocobitis pavonacea (McClelland, 1839) (Spearfin loach)
