Enteromius pleurogramma is a species of ray-finned fish in the genus Enteromius. It is endemic to Ethiopia, from the basin of the Blue Nile including Lake Tana.^[2]

Some authors include it in the straightfin barb (E. paludinosus). But while they are certainly extremely closely related, they appear to be distinct cryptic species.
