Grammatidae is a small family of ray-finned fishes which were formerly placed in the order Perciformes or as indeterminate percomorphs, but are now considered blenniiforms.[1][2] They are commonly known as basslets. They are marine fish found in the tropical western Atlantic Ocean.[3]

They are characterized in part by a broken or absent lateral line. The largest species reach around 10 centimeters in maximum length.[3]

Some basslets are colorful and are kept in marine aquaria.[3]

A number of other species may be called "basslets", in particular members of Serranidae, where they may be called "fairy basslets".
