Thunnus (Thunnus) is a paraphyletic subgenus of ray-finned bony fishes in the Thunnini, or tuna, tribe. More specifically, Thunnus (Thunnus) is a subgenus of the genus Thunnus, also known as the "true tunas". Thunnus (Thunnus) is sometimes referred to as the bluefin group and comprises five species:
- subgenus Thunnus (Thunnus)
- T. alalunga (Bonnaterre, 1788) – albacore
- T. maccoyii (Castelnau, 1872) – southern bluefin tuna
- T. obesus (Lowe, 1839) – bigeye tuna
- T. orientalis (Temminck and Schlegel, 1844) – Pacific bluefin tuna
- T. thynnus (Linnaeus, 1758) – Atlantic bluefin tuna
