Sicyopus zosterophorus is a species of amphidromous goby in the family Oxudercidae. It is widely distributed throughout the Indo-Pacific region, where it inhabits clear, fast-flowing streams, particularly in forested areas with rocky substrates. Like other amphidromous gobies, it migrates between freshwater and marine environments during different stages of its life cycle and feeds primarily on small aquatic invertebrates.
