Wallagonia maculatus is a species of catfish in the Siluridae family (the sheatfishes) endemic to Malaysia, where it is known only from Sabah in northern Borneo. This species grows up to a length of 100 centimetres (39 in) SL.
Until osteological research validated the genus Wallagonia in 2014, W. maculatus was included in the genus Wallago.
