The cheat minnow (Pararhinichthys bowersi) is a demersal, freshwater fish endemic to the United States , most commonly found in the Ohio River basin.[1]

It is the only species in the genus Pararhinichthys. Its taxonomic status is debatable and Pararhinichthys bowersi is most likely to refer to an F1 hybrid of Rhinichthys cataractae and Nocomis micropogon.[2][3]
