The Ordinary eel[1] (Ethadophis byrnei, also known as the Ordinary snake-eel[2]) is an eel in the family Ophichthidae (worm/snake eels).[3] It was described by Richard Heinrich Rosenblatt and John E. McCosker.[4] It is a marine, subtropical eel which is known from a single specimen collected from a sandbank in the Gulf of California, in the eastern central Pacific Ocean, during low tide. From the holotype, it is known to reach a total length of {{convert|51|cm|in}}.[3]

The IUCN redlist currently lists the Ordinary eel as Data Deficient due to the extremely limited number of described specimens, but notes that its habitat falls into a region of threat from coastal development.[2]
