Bignose galaxias ( Galaxias macronasus) is a galaxiid of the genus Galaxias, found in the upper Waitaki River catchment in the Mackenzie Basin in Otago, New Zealand. The species was described in 2003, after morphology and DNA sequencing distinguished it as a new species, closely related to other pencil galaxias species.
The species is non-diadromous, spending its entire life in freshwater unlike some other native galaxiids. Spawning is likely to take place during winter.
