Clarias magur is a species of freshwater airbreathing catfish from India and Bangladesh. It was recognized as species distinct from Clarias batrachus in 2008.^[2]

Clarias magur is eaten in Bangladesh and West Bengal as magur curry (Bengali: মাগুর মাছের ঝোল), and is considered good during illness, particularly for body weakness. It is prepared in a light curry sauce with coriander powder and cinnamon powder. It reportedly is fed to children to develop body strength.^{[citation needed]}
