Mugilogobius sarasinorum, Sarasin's goby, is a species of goby endemic to Lake Poso in Sulawesi, Indonesia. This species can reach a length of 8 centimetres (3.1 in) TL. Sarasin's goby is important to local commercial fisheries and the fishing community.

Etymology

The fish is named in honor of Swiss naturalist-ethnologist Paul Sarasin (1856-1929) and his cousin, naturalist Fritz Sarasin (1859-1942), who collected the type specimens.
