Abstract. Hampala siamensis, new species, is described from the Lower Tennasserim basin in Peninsular Thailand. This new species can be distinguished from its congeners by a saddle-like bar or inverted triangular marking on the body beneath the dorsal fin, rarely reaching the lateral-line scale row, by measurements of the head and body and scale counts. It is the fourth species of Hampala recorded from Thailand.
