Sundadanio axelrodi is a species of freshwater ray-finned fish belonging to the family Sundadanionidae, the tiny danios. This fish is known only from Bintan Island in the Riau Islands east of Sumatra. Originally described as a rasbora, Rasbora axelrodi, this tiny species was later deemed to be more closely related to the danios but not enough to be moved into the genus Danio.
