Typhleotris is a genus of cavefish that are endemic to caves in southwestern Madagascar. Although traditionally considered to belong to the family Eleotridae, studies show that they represent a distinct and far-separated lineage together with the Milyeringa cavefish from Australia, leading some to move them to their own family, Milyeringidae.[1]

The recognized species in this genus are:[2]
- Typhleotris madagascariensis Petit, 1933
- Typhleotris mararybe Sparks and Chakrabarty, 2012
- Typhleotris pauliani Arnoult, 1959
