Breitensteinia is a genus of catfishes (order Siluriformes) of the family Akysidae. It includes three species.
==Taxonomy== B. insignis was first described for an unusual akysid by Franz Steindachner in 1881. The genus had been monotypic since its description until a revision in 1998, along with the description of the two species B. cessator and B. hypselurus.
