The '''shortnose cisco''' (''Coregonus reighardi'') is a [[North America]]n [[freshwater whitefish]] in the salmon [[family (biology)|family]] [[Salmonidae]]. One of the members of the broader [[Coregonus artedi#The Coregonus artedi species complex|''Coregonus artedi'' species complex]] of [[Cisco (fish)|ciscoes]], it is native to the [[Great Lakes]] of Canada and the United States. Its population has been declining and it has disappeared from some of its earlier haunts. The last reported population was restricted to [[Georgian Bay]] off Lake Huron in Canada. It is thought that declines in the population of this fish may be linked with the arrival of the [[sea lamprey]] (''Petromyzon marinus''), in the Great Lakes. The [[International Union for Conservation of Nature]] has rated the conservation status of this fish as "[[critically endangered]]", and possibly [[Extinction|extinct]].

In 2024, the [[United States Geological Survey]] announced that the species had been rediscovered in [[Lake Superior]].<ref name=":0">{{Cite web |date=2024-12-17 |title=Researchers 'rediscover' fish species once believed extinct in Lake Superior |url=https://www.fox17online.com/news/local-news/michigan/believed-to-have-been-extinct-researchers-rediscover-fish-species-on-lake-superior |access-date=2024-12-24 |website=FOX 17 West Michigan News (WXMI) |language=en}}</ref>
