Pangio is a genus of small Asian freshwater fish in the true loach family Cobitidae. In earlier taxonomic schemes it was known as Acanthophthalmus. The "kuhli loach" is well-known in the aquarium trade and commonly identified as P. kuhlii, but most individuals actually appear to be P. semicincta.<ref name=SeriouslyFish>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

The type species is Cobitis cinnamomea McClelland 1839, now known as Pangio pangia.<ref>Template:Cof record</ref>

These fish are best represented in Southeast Asia where all but five of the species live,<ref name=Britz2012/><ref name=Anoop2019>Template:Cite journal</ref> including the Greater Sunda Islands with sixteen species. The five species found outside Southeast Asia are from India and Myanmar.<ref name=Britz2012/><ref>Template:Cite periodical</ref> They inhabit a wide range of mostly calm waters such as streams, swamps (often peat swamps) and backwaters, but there are also species in fast-flowing waters,<ref name=Britz2012/> and one, P. bhujia, lives underground.<ref name=Anoop2019/>
