Cercamia is a genus of fishes in the family Apogonidae, the cardinalfishes. They are native to the Pacific and Indian Oceans.

==Species== The recognized species in this genus are: Cercamia cladara J. E. Randall & C. L. Smith, 1988 Cercamia eremia (G. R. Allen, 1987) (glassy cardinalfish) Cercamia melanogaster G. R. Allen, Erdmann & Mahardini, 2015 (blackbelly cardinalfish) The former genus Apogonoides is now thought to be synonymous with Cercamia.
