Lamprologini is a tribe of African cichlid fishes. It contains seven genera and nearly 100 species. Over half of the species in this tribe are in the large genus Neolamprologus. Most genera in the tribe are endemic to Lake Tanganyika, but one species of Neolamprologus (N. devosi) is from the Malagarasi River in Tanzania, and several species of Lamprologus are from the Congo River Basin.
