Haplochromis welcommei is a threatened species of cichlid endemic to Lake Victoria in Africa. This species reaches a length of 10.5 centimetres (4.1 in) SL.[2] Although further surveys are needed to confirm its status, it is considered possibly extinct by the IUCN on the basis that there have been no definite records since 1985.[1]

It is the only scale-eating cichlid in the Lake Victoria system.[3]

The specific name honours Robin Welcomme, who was a fisheries biologist at the East African Freshwater Fisheries Research Organisation and who collected the type of this species.[4]
