Barbus labiosa is a doubtfully distinct ray-finned fish species in the family Cyprinidae.

It is found only in Morocco. Its natural habitat is rivers. It is not considered a threatened species by the IUCN.[1]

The taxonomy and systematics of the Maghreb barbs are subject to considerable dispute. Some authors consider B. labiosa a distinct species, while others include it in the Algerian barb (Luciobarbus callensis), or Maghreb barbel (L. maghrebensis).[2][3]
