Capoeta erhani, also known as the Ceyhan scraper, is a Turkish species of freshwater cyprinid fish in the genus Capoeta.

It lives in the Ceyhan River drainage, in many kinds of streams and also in reservoirs. These waters are in a relatively good ecological shape, and the species is therefore considered to be safe (least concern).[3]
