Amblyceps carinatum is a species of catfish belonging to the family Amblycipitidae. It is only known from the upper part of the Irrawaddy River basin in Myanmar.{{FishBase |genus=Amblyceps |species=carinatum |month=February |year=2019}}

This is a small catfish (up to 36 mm standard length) found in fast flowing streams. The main characteristic which distinguishes it from its congeners is the shape of the adipose fin: in A. carinatum it takes the form of a long low ridge starting just behind the dorsal fin whilst in all other Amblyceps species it is blade-shaped and starts well behind the dorsal fin.{{cite journal|title=Amblyceps carinatum, a new species of hillstream catfish from Myanmar (Teleostei: Amblycipitidae |url=https://lkcnhm.nus.edu.sg/app/uploads/2017/06/53rbz243-249.pdf |journal=Raffles Bulletin of Zoology |year=2005 |volume=53 |issue=2 |pages=243–249 |author=Ng, Heok Hee |authorlink=Heok Hee Ng |url-status=live |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20070811040638/http://rmbr.nus.edu.sg/rbz/biblio/53/53rbz243-249.pdf |archivedate=11 August 2007 }}
