Homalopteroides smithi is a species of ray-finned fish in the genus Homalopteroides.[1] It can be found in the Mekong and Chao Phraya basins and Malay Peninsula.[2]

The fish is named in honor of ichthyologist Hugh M. Smith (1865-1941), then at the Siam Department of Fisheries, in what is now Thailand.[3]
