The Macedonian vimba or Malamída (Vimba melanops) is a European freshwater fish species in the family Cyprinidae.
It is found in the Aegean Sea basin in Greece ( Thessaly, Macedonia and Thrace), and adjacent Bulgaria, North Macedonia, and northwestern Turkey ( Evros drainage). It inhabits rivers and freshwater reservoirs.
It is threatened by habitat loss. The taxonomic distinctness from the more widespread Vimba vimba is not clear.
