The orbicular batfish (Platax orbicularis) is a species of marine ray-finned fish belonging to the family Ephippidae. It is found in the Indo-Pacific, but has been recorded outside its native range in the western Atlantic Ocean. Adult orbicular batfishes have round bodies, highly compressed and deep. Larger adults have an indented snout with a bony intraorbital protuberance. They have bands of thin, flattened, tricuspid teeth on both jaws. The dorsal and anal fins are yellowish with black margins, and there may be small black spots on the flanks.
