The sharp-nosed mullet, Neomyxus leuciscus, is a species of ray-finned fish of mullet found in the tropical west and central Pacific Ocean.
Some older publications used the name Neomyxus chaptalli, but the holotype of Mugil chaptalli, MNHN 8100, is actually a specimen of the Flathead grey mullet, rendering leuciscus the correct name for the sharp-nosed mullet.
