鲔鱼（「鲔」，拼音：wěi，注音：ㄨㄟˇ，粤拼：fui，又名金枪鱼，吞拿鱼），是一种鲭科的海洋生物，大部分皆于于鲔属。

鲔鱼的肉色为红色，这是因为鲔鱼的肌肉中含有了大量的肌红蛋白所致。有些鲔鱼，例如蓝鳍鲔（T. thynnus、T. maccoyii、T. orientalis）可以利用泳肌的代谢，使体内血液的温度高于外界的水温。这项生理功能使鲔鱼能够适应较大的水温范围，从而能够生存在温度较低的深海水域。

游泳速度快，瞬时时速可达160公里，平均时速约60－80公里。分布在印度洋、太平洋中部与大西洋中部、属于热带-亚热带大洋性鱼。鲔鱼的游程很远，过去曾经在日本近海发现过从美国加州游过去的鲔鱼。

Thunnus is a genus of ocean-dwelling ray-finned bony fish from the Scombridae (Mackerel) family. More specifically, Thunnus is one of five genera which make up the Thunnini tribe – a tribe that is collectively known as the tunas. Also called the true tunas or real tunas, Thunnus consists of eight species of tuna (more than half of the overall tribe), divided into two subgenera. The word Thunnus is the Middle Latin form of the Ancient Greek: θύννος (thýnnos) "tunny-fish" – which is in turn derived from θύνω (thynō), "to rush; to dart". The first written use of the word was by Homer.
