Psalidodon is a genus of freshwater fish in the family Characidae of the order Characiformes. Some of these fish, like many of their relatives, are kept as aquarium pets and known collectively as tetras.
They are all endemic to freshwater habitats in South America, where they are locally called Mojarra or Lambari.
