Gigantactis elsmani (common name Elsman's whipnose) is a species of fish in the whipnose angler (Gigantactinidae) family, first described in 1981 by Erik Bertelsen, Theodore Wells Pietsch III and Robert J. Lavenberg.[2][3] It has five dorsal soft rays and four to five anal soft rays.[4]
It is a marine oceanic fish found in the south Atlantic and south Pacific oceans and hence in the territorial waters of islands in those oceans, at depths of 0 metres to 3,000 metres.[1] In Australia it has been found in waters off the coasts of Queensland and New South Wales.[2]
