Brycon insignis, the Tiete tetra, is a species of fish in the family Characidae. It is endemic to the Paraíba do Sul River basin in southeast Brazil.[1] B. insignis migrates upstream to spawn and has traditionally been important to fisheries,[2] but it is now a threatened species.[3]

Some authorities recognize B. acuminatus as a separate, possibly extinct species,[4] but recent authorities treat it as a synonym of B. insignis.[5][6]
