The longnose killifish is a marine tropical benthopelagic fish of the genus Fundulus and the family Fundulidae.

The body is rounded, elongate, and olive to silver colored with dark vertical stripes. It can be distinguished from other killifish by its long snout and a dark spot on last vertical bar.
