The Australian blackspot shark or Coates's shark is a species of requiem shark found off northern Australia and possibly also off the coast of New Guinea. It belongs to a species complex of Blackspot sharks in the family Carcharhinidae. These sharks are not widely studied due to their cryptic nature, but there was a recent reclassification distinguishing it from the Whitecheek shark and the Blackspot Shark in 2012.
