The Mangrove gambusia (Gambusia rhizophorae) is a tropical poeciliid (live bearing) fish species with a restricted, disjunct range one in northwestern Cuba, the other in southeastern Florida. The Florida population has been recently listed as "biologically vulnerable" (vulnerable to extinction because of the taxon's biology or other indicators) by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission.
