Oxynoemacheilus evreni is a species of freshwater fish in the genus Oxynoemacheilus, belonging to the order Cypriniformes.Kottelat, M. (2012): [http://rmbr.nus.edu.sg/rbz/biblio/s26/Conspectus_cobitidum.pdf Conspectus cobitidum: an inventory of the loaches of the world (Teleostei: Cypriniformes: Cobitoidei).] The Raffles Bulletin of Zoology, Suppl. No. 26: 1-199. It is widely distributed and locally abundant within the Ceyhan drainage, where it inhabits streams and rivers with gravel substrate and fast to very fast currents. Although, its population may have experienced a slight decline due to dam construction, the species has shown tolerance to some human-altered habitats.

The fish is named in honor of the son, Evren Erk’akan (b. 1987) of the senior author.{{cite web | url = http://www.etyfish.org/cypriniformes4/ | title = Order CYPRINIFORMES: Family NEMACHEILIDAE (a-p) | access-date= 2 December 2021 | author1 = Christopher Scharpf | author2 = Kenneth J.
