Akysis is the largest genus of catfishes (order Siluriformes) of the family Akysidae.
==Taxonomy== In 1996, it was determined that Akysis is the sister group to all other akysids, then only including Parakysis, Acrochordonichthys, and Breitensteinia. However, it was acknowledged that the genus Akysis was poorly sampled at the time and may be deemed non-monophyletic in the future.
