'''Bucchich's goby''' ('''''Gobius bucchichi''''') is a [[species]] of [[goby]] native to the Eastern [[Mediterranean Sea]] (at least the [[Adriatic Sea|Adriatic]] and [[Aegean Sea]]s) and perhaps the [[Black Sea]].<ref name=Kovacic2017>{{cite journal | author1=Kovačić, M. | author2= R.

The Bucchich's goby prefers coastal waters with a sandy or muddy substrate with [[seagrass]] patches or [[tide pools]] at depths of from {{convert|1|to(-)|30|m|ft|abbr=on}}. Its diet consists of [[polychaete worms]], [[amphipods]], [[molluscs]] and [[algae]]. This species can reach a [[total length]] of up to {{convert|10|cm|in|abbr=on}}.<ref name=FishBase/>
