True gobies were a subfamily, the Gobiinae, of the goby family Gobiidae, although the 5th edition of the Fishes of the World does not subdivide the Gobiidae into subfamilies.

Altogether, the Gobiinae unite about 1149 described species in 160 genera, and new ones are still being discovered in numbers.
