Priolepis cincta, commonly known as the girdled goby, is a species of goby fish described by Regan in 1908.[1]

Its distributional range extends from the Red Sea to Tonga, then from Japan to the Great Barrier Reef.[2] It can be found in brackish water and salt water, with a depth range of 1 – 70 metres (3 ft - 229 ft), although it is usually seen at depths of 1 – 30 metres (3 ft - 98 ft).[3][4]
