Toxotes blythii, the clouded archerfish or zebra archerfish, is a perciform fish of genus Toxotes.
It is found in rivers and estuaries in Myanmar, ranging from the lower Irrawaddy to the Tenasserim Division, including lower Sittaung and Salween.
Unlike some other archerfish, it is restricted to fresh water.
This species was formerly thought to be identical to T. microlepis (smallscale archerfish). However, differences in structure and colouration caused the splitting of T. blythii into a new species.
