日本海魴（學名：Zeus faber），又稱鏡魚、鏡鯧、遠東海魴、馬頭鯛、的鯛、魴魚、豆的鯛，是輻鰭魚綱海魴目的其中一種。在台灣的高級餐廳菜單中稱為鲂魚，英文俗名為John Dory，音譯為多利魚。 台灣坊間低價、去骨去皮的多利魚、魴魚或雪斑魚，皆為東南亞、越南淡水養殖的低眼無齒𩷶和博氏巨鯰（學名：Pangasius bocourti，俗稱「巴沙魚」，也被用来假冒為龍脷魚），假冒高價的深海產魴魚(以日本馬頭鯛每公斤400元為例，每片250公克的魴魚約100元，若以巴沙魚頂替，每片250公克的鯰魚只要25元)，使很多人誤以為「鯰魚」就是魴魚、多利魚或國宴魚。最簡單的分辨方法是日本的鯛的魚片帶有魚皮，呈三角形；鯰魚的魚片沒有魚皮，呈長條形(長舌狀)。

Article
John Dory, St Pierre, or Peter's fish, refers to fish of the genus Zeus, especially Zeus faber, of widespread distribution. It is an edible demersal coastal marine fish with a laterally compressed olive-yellow body which has a large dark spot, and long spines on the dorsal fin. Its large eyes at the front of the head provide it with binocular vision and depth perception, which are important for predators. The John Dory's eye spot on the side of its body also confuses prey, which are scooped up in its large mouth.
In New Zealand, Māori know it as kuparu, and on the East Coast of the North Island, they gave some to Captain James Cook on his first voyage to New Zealand in 1769. Several casks of them were pickled.
