Cottocomephoridae, or the bighead sculpins or Baikal sculpins, are a family of scorpaeniform fishes mostly endemic to Russia (one species ranges into Mongolia) where they are mostly found in Lake Baikal and surrounding lakes and rivers.[1]

The Catalog of Fishes does not recognize Cottocomephoridae as a separate family, but includes its members in the Cottidae.[2]
