The ring-backed pipefish, Stipecampus cristatus, is a species of pipefish found in the waters of the Indian Ocean off the southern coast of Australia. It occurs on reefs, living in beds of red and brown algae down to depths of about 15 metres (49 ft). The species grows to a length of about 22 centimetres (8.7 in) standard length. It is the only known member of its genus, so the genus Stipecampus is known from this one species alone.
