Bairdiella is a genus of marine ray-finned fishes belonging to the family Sciaenidae, the drums and croakers. These fishes are found in the western Atlantic and eastern Pacific Ocean.
==Taxonomy== Bairdiella was first proposed as a monospecific genus in 1815 by the American biologist Theodore Gill with Bodianus argyroleucus, a species described in 1815 by Samuel L. Mitchill from New York, as its only species. Mitchill's B. argryleucus was later shown to be a synonym of Dipterodon chrysourus which had been described by Bernard Germain de Lacépède in 1802 from "Carolina". Bairdiella belongs to the family Sciaenidae in the order Acanthuriformes. Some authorities place Bairdiella in the subfamily Stelliferinae but subfamilies are not recognised within Sciaenidae by Fishes of the World.
