The common whitefish (Coregonus lavaretus) is a species of freshwater fish in the salmon family (family Salmonidae). It is the type species of its genus.
The gwyniad (C. pennantii) is sometimes considered to be a subspecies or population of C. lavaretus. The common whitefish is also sometimes called the lavaret or the powan, although the latter refers more properly to C. clupeoides.
