Dactylopus kuiteri, known commonly as the Kuiter's dragonet, is a species of marine fish in the family Callionymidae.

The Kuiter's dragonet is widespread throughout the tropical waters of the central Indo-Pacific region and particularly around Indonesia.[1]

This species reaches a length of 15 centimetres (5.9 in) TL.[2]

The specific name honours the collector and author of the Pictorial guide to Indonesian reef fishes, Rudie H. Kuiter.[1]
