Chlamydogobius gloveri, the Dalhousie goby, is a species of goby endemic to Australia where it lives in the Dalhousie Springs. It feeds on small mollusks, crustaceans and other odds and ends like most other gobies. This species can reach a length of 4.5 centimetres (1.8 in) SL.
It is named "Gloveri" for John Glover, a scientist who studied Australian fishes.
