Rhadinoloricaria is a genus of catfish endemic to South America.[1] It was considered to be monotypic until the 2020 discovery of a second species.[2]

Rhadinoloricaria is part of the Pseudohemiodon group of the tribe Loricariini in the subfamily Loricariinae.[1] Apistoloricaria and Crossoloricaria include fish that are very similar to Rhadinoloricaria, and it has been proposed that the former two genera be synonymized with the latter.
