Coregonus megalops is a putative species of whitefish, part of the Coregonus lavaretus complex (European whitefish).{{cite web |title=Coregonus megalops Widegren, 1863 |url=https://www.fishbase.de/summary/48234 |website=www.fishbase.de |access-date=12 January 2022 |language=en}}Freyhof, J. 2011. Coregonus megalops. The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species 2011: e.T135674A4176873. {{doi|10.2305/IUCN.UK.2008.RLTS.T135674A4176873.en}}. Retrieved 12 January 2023. Its distribution is in Sweden, Finland, and Russia.

In Sweden, the name C. megalops has referred to a form of whitefish known as the blåsik ("blue whitefish"). That is however no more considered a distinct species but a morphotype of Coregonus maraena ("Coregonus maraena morphotype megalops"), and not different from "Coregonus maraena morphotype nilssoni".[https://namnochslaktskap.artfakta.se/taxa/206097/details?lang=sv Coregonus maraena morphotype megalops blåsik] Artfakta.
