Ctenochromis is a genus of haplochromine cichlids endemic to the Lake Tanganyika and Congo River basins in Africa.
At present, 5 species are validly described in Ctenochromis: Ctenochromis horei (Günther, 1894) Ctenochromis luluae (Fowler, 1930) Ctenochromis oligacanthus (Regan, 1922) Ctenochromis pectoralis Pfeffer, 1893 – Pangani Haplo (listed as extinct by the IUCN, but this appears to be incorrect). Ctenochromis polli (Thys van den Audenaerde, 1964)
