"Pimelodella" is a genus of catfishes (order Siluriformes) of the family Heptapteridae.

"Pimelodella" is the largest genus in the family. However, it is in need of taxonomic revision.

This genus has a cis- and trans-Andean distribution from Panama to Paraguay and southern Brazil.cite journal|journal=Copeia|year=2004|issue=2|pages=315–325|title="Pimelodella spelaea": A New Cave Catfish from Central Brazil, with Data on Ecology and Evolutionary Considerations (Siluriformes: Heptapteridae)|first=Eleonara|last=Trajano|coauthors=Reis, Roberto E.; Bichuette, Maria Elina] This genus includes two species of troglobitic catfishes, "P. kronei" and "P. spelaea".
