Pseudomystus is a genus of catfishes (order Siluriformes) of the family Bagridae.

==Taxonomy== Pseudomystus was originally described by Jayaram in 1968 as a subgenus to Leiocassis. It was elevated to genus rank in 1991 by Mo. There is evidence to indicate that these two genera are not even closely related. There is the possibility that Pseudomystus as currently understood may not be monophyletic.
