The orange spotted filefish or harlequin filefish, Oxymonacanthus longirostris, is a filefish in the family Monacanthidae found on coral reefs in the Indo-Pacific Oceans.

The orange spotted filefish is pale blue with about eight longitudinal rows of orange-yellow patches. In the wild it almost only eats Acropora polyps.
