The first record of Pomacanthus semicirculatus (Cuvier, 1831) in the Mediterranean Sea is reported, based on a specimen caught off Alexandria, Egypt, in November 2024. Description of the specimen, morphometric measurements and meristic characters are given. The native range of the species is the Indo-west Pacific region and its hypothesized introduction to Mediterranean Egyptian waters as a result of Lessepsian migration is plausible, pending confirmation of its occurrence within the wider region through additional records.
