The big scale archerfish (Toxotes oligolepis) is a species of fish in the Toxotidae family. It is endemic to the Molucca Islands (Indonesia) and possibly the Philippines. It was formerly reported from Western Australia (in which case the common name western archerfish was used), but this is a separate species, T. kimberleyensis.
