The comet grouper (Epinephelus morrhua) is a species of deepwater fish in the family Serranidae. It is found in the Indo-Pacific region. Other common names include comet cod, banded-cheek reef-cod, contour rockcod, and blue groper.[1]

This species is found near coral reefs at depths from {{convert|80|to|370|m|ft|abbr=on}} and is not migratory. It is sometimes confused with its relatives E. poecilonotus, E. radiatus, and E. tuamotoensis. Although it is reported to be a gamefish, it is not commonly seen in markets. It has also been associated with ciguatera poisoning.[2]

This fish reaches up to a meter long and 10 kilograms in weight.[1]

This species harbours several parasite species, including the diplectanid monogeneans Pseudorhabdosynochus morrhua and P. variabilis.
