The Pacific sharpnose shark  is a species of shark in the family Pseudocarchariidae, found in tropical and subtropical waters of the Pacific Ocean. It is a small to medium-sized shark, typically growing between 1.5 to 2 meters in length. The shark has a distinct appearance with a gray or gray-brown body and a lighter belly. Its large dorsal fin is located towards the back of its body, and it is named for the mouse-like shape of its head.

The Pacific sharpnose shark inhabits shallow waters close to the surface, primarily feeding on small fish, crustaceans, and cephalopods. It is a relatively rare species with no significant threat to humans and usually lives in deeper waters, avoiding direct interaction with people.

While not commercially important, the Pacific sharpnose shark is occasionally caught for food or research purposes in certain regions. Its meat is firm and mild in flavor, making it suitable for cooking. In some areas, it may also be kept as an ornamental shark in aquariums.
