Muraena augusti is a species of moray eel found in waters surrounding Macaronesia, in the Eastern Atlantic Ocean. This moray eel occurs at a depth range of 0–250 m (0–820 ft), and is most often found between 0–50 m (0–164 ft).

This species was first described by Johann Jakob Kaup in 1856 under the genus Thyrsoidea and latter transferred to Muraena.
