Glossamia is a genus of freshwater fish in the family Apogonidae. The majority of the species are endemic to New Guinea, but G. aprion is also found in Australia.
It is solitary, mostly inhabiting riverside vegetation areas and crevices where rotten wood accumulates, and also lives in shallow wetlands on the edge of lakes. It is a larger species with a similar appearance to Glossamia gjellerupi, but usually the number of stripes of Glossamia gjellerupi is smaller, making the stripes of the fresh handle vertical.
