Mooneye is a type of freshwater fish native to North America, typically found in large streams and rivers. It belongs to the Hiodontidae family and is characterized by its large, round and silver-colored eyes, which is thought to enhance its vision in low light conditions.

The mooneyes are a family, the Hiodontidae, of primitive ray-finned fish comprising two living and three extinct species in the genus Hiodon. They are large-eyed, fork-tailed fish that physically resemble shads. Their common name comes from the metallic gold or silver shine of their eyes. The higher classification of the mooneyes is not as yet fully established. Some sources place them in their own Order - Hiodontiformes, while others retain them in the order Osteoglossiformes.
