Pompanos {{IPAc-en|ˈ|p|ɑː|m|p|ən|oʊ}} are marine fishes in the genus Trachinotus in the family Carangidae (better known as "jacks"). Pompano may also refer to various other, similarly shaped members of the Carangidae, or the order Perciformes. Their appearance is deep-bodied and mackerel-like, typically silver and toothless, with a forked tail and narrow base. Of the 20 described species, most are valued as food. Some species are considered prize delicacies and game fish. A similar species is known as the permit, T. falcatus; two United States Navy submarines are named after it.

The Florida pompano, T. carolinus, reaches about {{convert|45|cm|in|abbr=on}} and {{convert|1.5|kg|lb|abbr=on}}, while the permit reaches about {{convert|90|cm|in|abbr=on}} and more than {{convert|14|kg|lb|abbr=on}}.
