Knipowitschia is a genus of marine, fresh and brackish water gobies native to Eurasia. The genus name almost certainly honours Nikolai Mikhailovich Knipovich (1862-1938), a biologist who led a number of expeditions to the Caspian Sea.{{cite web | url = http://www.etyfish.org/gobiiformes6/ | title = Order GOBIIFORMES: Family GOBIIDAE (I-p) | accessdate= 3 September 2018 | author1 = Christopher Scharpf | author2 = Kenneth J.
