The broadnosed pipefish or deepnosed pipefish (Syngnathus typhle) is a fish of the family Syngnathidae (seahorses and pipefishes). It is native to the Eastern Atlantic ocean from Vardø in Norway, the Baltic Sea (north to the Gulf of Finland) and the British Isles in the north all the way to Morocco at south. It is also found in the Mediterranean Sea, Black Sea and Sea of Azov. It is common in the coastal shallow waters, usually on reefs with seagrasses. This species is notable for its "broad" snout, which is as deep as its body.
