Neoniphon marianus, also known as the longjaw squirrelfish, is a species of squirrelfish found in the Western Atlantic Ocean from the Florida Keys south to Trinidad and throughout the Caribbean Sea. It lives near reefs at depths between 1 and 70 metres (3.3 and 229.7 ft), usually between 30 and 60 metres (98 and 197 ft), and can reach sizes of up to 18.0 centimetres (7.1 in) TL.
