Amblydoras gonzalezi is a species of thorny catfish found in Colombia and Venezuela. It occurs in the Orinoco River basin and in the Casiquiare canal. This species grows to a length of 9.8 centimetres (3.9 in) SL.

The fish is named in honor of civil engineer Marcelo González Molina (1923-2000), who through his connections, provided the collectors access to the type locality.[1]
