''Cyphotilapia frontosa'', also called the front cichlid and frontosa, is an east African species of fish endemic to Lake Tanganyika. The genus name is a combination of the Ancient Greek "cypho-", meaning "curved", and ''tilapia'', which means "fish" in a local dialect. The species name ''frontosa'' is a reference to its relatively large forehead.
