Hyporthodus is a genus of marine ray-finned fish, groupers from the subfamily Epinephelinae, part of the family Serranidae, which also includes the anthias and sea basses. It contains the following species, most of which were previously placed in Epinephelus:

- Hyporthodus ergastularius
- Hyporthodus exsul
- Hyporthodus flavolimbatus
- Hyporthodus haifensis
- Hyporthodus mystacinus

- Hyporthodus niveatus
- Hyporthodus octofasciatus

A molecular analysis has shown that most species of Hyporthodus can be identified on the basis of COI barcoding sequences.
