Neomyxus leuciscus, the acute-jawed mullet, is a species of mullet found in the tropical west and central Pacific Ocean. It is the only species in the genus Neomyxus.
==Taxonomy== Some older publications used the name Neomyxus chaptalli, but the holotype of Mugil chaptalli, MNHN 8100, is actually a specimen of the flathead grey mullet, rendering leuciscus the correct name for the sharp-nosed mullet.
