Ancistrus erinaceus is a species of freshwater ray-finned fish belonging to the family Loricariidae, the suckermouth armoured catfishes, and the subfamily Hypostominae, the suckermouth catfishes. This catfish is kown only from its holotype which was said to be collected in Chile but this is thought likely to be an error.
