Notorynchus cepedianus (Péron, 1807)

エビスザメ（恵比寿鮫、Notorynchus cepedianus）は、軟骨魚綱カグラザメ目カグラザメ科エビスザメ属に分類されるサメ。現生のエビスザメ属 Notorynchus は本種のみ。口角（口の両端）が上がっているさまが、えびす顔（笑顔）にたとえられる。現生のほとんどのサメの鰓裂は5対であるが、エビスザメは7対ある。他に7対の鰓裂をもつサメは、エドアブラザメ（Heptranshias perlo）が知られているだけで、本種を含めた2種はいずれもカグラザメ科に属する。なお、日本の関東地方などでは、ジンベエザメを方言で「えびす鮫」と呼ぶことがある。
