Salaria is a genus of fish in the family Blenniidae.[1] It now contains marine species which are found around the Mediterranean Sea and the eastern Atlantic Ocean.[2] Freshwater species were reallocated to Salariopsis in 2022.[3] One species, the peacock blenny, has colonised the northern Red Sea through the Suez Canal, a process knowns as anti-Lesspesian migration.[4]

- Salaria basilisca (Valenciennes, 1836)
