Garra gymnothorax, the chest scaleless garra, is a species of cyprinid fish in the genus Garra which is found in Iran. It was formerly considered as a subspecies of the more common Garra rufa,{{cite WoRMS|author=Bailly, Nicolas|year=2023|title=Garra rufa gymnothorax Berg, 1949|id=1626351}} but FishBase elevates it to a full species. As the common name suggests, the breast of the fish is usually naked, though some populations do have imbedded scales here.{{FishBase|genus=Garra|species=gymnothorax|month=February|year=2024}}
