Rhinobatos (from Ancient Greek ῥίς (rhís), meaning "nose", and βάτος (bátos), meaning "ray") is a genus of fish in the Rhinobatidae family. Although previously used to encompass all guitarfishes, it was found to be polyphyletic, and recent authorities have transferred many species included in the genus to Acroteriobatus, Glaucostegus, and Pseudobatos.
