Umbra is a genus of mudminnows native to Europe and North America. It is the only extant member of the family Umbridae.

Phylogenetic evidence suggests the North American and European clades split between the Late Cretaceous or early Paleogene, making this a rather ancient group.{{Cite journal |last=Marić |first=Saša |last2=Stanković |first2=David |last3=Wanzenböck |first3=Josef |last4=Šanda |first4=Radek |last5=Erős |first5=Tibor |last6=Takács |first6=Péter |last7=Specziár |first7=András |last8=Sekulić |first8=Nenad |last9=Bănăduc |first9=Doru |last10=Ćaleta |first10=Marko |last11=Trombitsky |first11=Ilya |last12=Galambos |first12=László |last13=Sipos |first13=Sándor |last14=Snoj |first14=Aleš |date=2017-05-01 |title=Phylogeography and population genetics of the European mudminnow (Umbra krameri) with a time-calibrated phylogeny for the family Umbridae |url=https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10750-016-3051-9 |journal=Hydrobiologia |language=en |volume=792 |issue=1 |pages=151–168 |doi=10.1007/s10750-016-3051-9 |issn=1573-5117}}
