Serrivomer schmidti is an eel in the family Serrivomeridae (sawtooth eels). It was described by Marie-Louise Bauchot in 1953. It is a marine, deep water-dwelling eel which is known from the eastern and western Atlantic Ocean, including Cape Verde, Senegal, the Gulf of Guinea, and Brazil. It is known to dwell at a depth range of 0 to 2000 m. Males can reach a maximum total length of 65.7 cm, but more commonly reach a TL of 34 cm.

The diet of S. schmidti consists of small bony fish and crustaceans. It is not of commercial interest to fisheries.
