Rhinogobius aporus is a species in the goby subfamily Gobionellinae endemic to China.[2][3][4] It was first described as Pseudorhinogobius aporus, but that genus has been brought into synonymy with Rhinogobius.[5]

The type locality of Rhinogobius aporus is a slow-flowing brooklet in the upper Ou River system in Jinyun County, Zhejiang, southeastern China.[1] There are no published records from elsewhere.
