The Aquitanian pike (Esox aquitanicus) is a species of pike, a predatory fish native from the Charente to the Adour river drainages in the French Great South-West region. It was scientifically described in 2014, but had formerly been regarded as a population of the widespread northern pike (Esox lucius). The two species generally resemble each other and they are able to hybridize.
