Campellolebias is a genus of killifish in the family Rivulidae from southeast Brazil. They are restricted to seasonal blackwater pools in forests in coastal parts of Santa Catarina and São Paulo states.
They are small fish, up to in total length. Uniquely among killifish, Campellolebias and the closely related Cynopoecilus have internal fertilization. A part of the males' anal fin forms a "pseudo-gonopodium" that is used for inseminating the female.
