Peckoltia ephippiata[1] is a species of catfish in the family Loricariidae. It is a freshwater fish native to South America, where it is known from the Leitão River, which is part of the Madeira River drainage in the state of Rôndonia in Brazil . The species reaches 10.2 cm (4 inches) SL.[2]

Its specific epithet, ephippiata, derives from the Latin word for "saddle" and refers to the saddle-like patterns exhibited by the species.[2] It was described in 2015 by Jonathan W. Armbruster (of Auburn University), David C. Werneke, and Milton Tan alongside two other "saddled" members of the genus Peckoltia: P. greedoi and P. lujani.[3]
