Giganthias is a small genus of marine ray-finned fish belonging to the family Anthiadidae. It contains two species from Japan, Taiwan, and Indonesia.
==Taxonomy== Giganthias was first established by Japanese ichthyologist Masao Katayama in 1954 based on two specimens of the type species Giganthias immaculatus recovered from the island of Izu Ōshima in Japan. Katayama initially placed the species in a separate subfamily, Giganthiinae, but it is now accepted to be in the family Anthiadidae.
