Valenciennea longipinnis, the long-finned goby, is a species of goby native to the Indian Ocean and the western Pacific Ocean. The long-finned goby can be found in lagoons and areas with substrates of fine sand at depths less than 3 metres (9.8 ft), occasionally down to 6 metres (20 ft) but only rarely deeper than that. This species can reach a length of 18 centimetres (7.1 in) SL. The long-finned goby is of minor importance to local commercial fisheries and can also be found in the aquarium trade.
