The Mitchell gudgeon (Kimberleyeleotris hutchinsi) is a species of fish in the family Eleotridae endemic to the Kimberley region of Australia, where it is only known from the Mitchell River system. This species can reach a length of 4 cm (1.6 in). [2] The specific name honours the ichthyologist J. Barry Hutchins (b. 1946) of the Western Australian Museum, who collected the type. [3]
