Stichaeopsis is a genus of marine ray-finned fishes belonging to the family Stichaeidae, the pricklebacks or shannies. These fishes are found in the western North Pacific Ocean.
==Taxonomy== Stichaeopsis was first proposed as a monospecific genus in 1870 by the Austrian ichthyologist Rudolf Kner with Stichaeopsis nana, which was described as a new species by Kner from Decastris Bay on the Tatar Strait in the northern Sea of Japan, as its only species. This genus is classified within the subfamily Stichaeinae of the Zoarcoid family Stichaeidae.
