Enteromius brazzai is a species of ray-finned fish in the genus Enteromius which occurs in the central Congo Basin and some other rivers in Gabon, Central African Republic and Cameroon.[1]

The fish is named in honor of Franco-Italian explorer Pierre Savorgnan de Brazza (1852-1905), who collected the type specimen.[2]
