The sicklefin redhorse (Moxostoma ugidatli) is a species of freshwater ray-finned fish in the genus Moxostoma. It is endemic to the southeastern United States, where it is known from a small section of the Appalachian Mountains in southwestern North Carolina and northern Georgia. Long known to the Cherokee people, it was only scientifically recognized as a distinct species in 1992, and only officially given a scientific name in 2025.
